eye protection when you perform vehicle
maintenance or service.
Clean, Dry and Protect Parts
WARNING
Solvent cleaners can be flammable, poisonous
and cause burns. Examples of solvent cleaners are
carbon tetrachloride, emulsion-type cleaners and
petroleum-based cleaners. To avoid serious
personal injury when you use solvent cleaners,
you must carefully follow the manufacturer’s
product instructions and these procedures:
•
Wear safe eye protection.
•
Wear clothing that protects your skin.
•
Work in a well-ventilated area.
•
Do not use gasoline, or solvents that contain
gasoline. Gasoline can explode.
•
You must use hot solution tanks or alkaline
solutions correctly. Follow the manufacturer’s
instructions carefully.
Cleaning Parts
CAUTION
Do not use hot solution tanks or water and
alkaline solutions to clean ground or polished
parts. Damage to parts will result.
1. Use a cleaning solvent or kerosene or diesel
fuel to clean ground or polished metal parts
or surfaces. Examples of ground or polished
parts are the piston and the piston bore in
the caliper.
2. Use a cleaning solvent or a weak alkaline
solution in a hot solution tank to clean rough
metal parts. If you use a hot solution tank,
follow the instructions below.
A. Leave the parts in the tank until they are
completely cleaned and heated.
B. Remove the parts from the tank.
C. Wash the parts with water until you remove
the alkaline solution.
3. Use a wire brush to clean fastener and fitting
threads.
4. Remove mud and dirt on the linings. Replace
all linings contaminated with oil or grease.
Dry Parts Immediately
After Cleaning
1. Use soft, clean paper or cloth rags, or
compressed air to completely dry parts
immediately after you clean them.
2. Carefully inspect all parts for wear or damage
before you assemble them.
3. Repair or replace worn or damaged parts.
Apply Corrosion Protection
1. Apply a thin layer of grease to cleaned, dried
parts. Be careful that you do not apply the
grease to the linings or rotor.
2. If you will store the parts, apply a special
material, which prevents corrosion and rust, to
all surfaces. Store parts inside special paper or
other material that prevents rust and corrosion.
