both the rotor and one wheel stud on the high side of
the runout. This will ensure that the original location
of the rotor in relation to the hub can be retained
(Fig. 14). Remove rotor from hub.
Thoroughly clean the front surface of the front
hub. Then install Dial Indicator, Special Tool C-3339
and Mounting Adaptor, Special Tool SP-1910 on
steering knuckle. Position stem so it contacts hub
face near outer diameter. Care must be taken to posi-
tion stem outside the stud circle but inside the cham-
fer on the hub face (Fig. 15).Clean hub surface
before checking.
Lateral runout should not exceed 0.08 mm (0.003
inch). If runout exceeds this specification, the hub
must be replaced. See Suspension Group 2. If lateral
runout of the hub does not exceed this specification,
install rotor on hub with chalk marks two wheel
studs apart (Fig. 16). Tighten nuts in the properse-
quence and torque to specification. Finally, check lat-eral runout of rotor to see if lateral runout is now
within specification.
If lateral runout is not within specification, install
a new rotor or reface rotor, being careful to remove
as little rotor material as possible from each side of
rotor. Remove equal amounts from each side of rotor.
Do not reduce thickness below minimum thickness
marking cast into the un-machined surface (Fig. 17)
of the rotor .
Thickness variation measurements of the rotor
should be made in conjunction with the lateral
runout measurements. Measure the thickness of the
rotor at 12 circumferentially equal points with a

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING (Continued)

(4) Remove the locking pliers from the front park
brake cable. This will allow the adjuster in the park
brake pedal mechanism to rotate around to its stop.
This will remove the tension from the adjuster and
front park brake cable.
Use the following procedure to reset the auto
adjuster in the park brake pedal mechanism.
(5) Grasp the exposed section of the front park
brake cable and pull rearward on it. While holding
the park brake in this position, install a pair of lock-
ing pliers on the front park brake cable just rearward
of the second body outrigger bracket (Fig. 42).
(6) Install the equalizer on the front park brake
cable.
(7) Install the left rear and intermediate park
brake cable in the correct location on the park brake
cable equalizer (Fig. 43).
(8) Remove the locking pliers from the front park
brake cable. This will allow the adjuster in the park
brake pedal mechanism to tension the park brake
cables.
(9) Apply and release the park brake pedal one
time. This will seat the park brake cables and allow
the auto adjuster in the park brake pedal mechanism
to correctly tension the park brake cables.
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
WHEEL AND TIRE INSTALLATION
To install the wheel and tire assembly, first posi-
tion it properly on the mounting surface using the
hub pilot as a guide. Then progressively tighten thelug nuts in the proper sequence to half of the
required torque. Finally tighten the lug nuts in the
proper sequence to 129 N´m (95 ft. lbs.). Never use
oil or grease on studs or nuts.

FREE MATERIALS, SOME AFTER MARKET BRAKE
LINING MAY CONTAIN ASBESTOS. THIS SHOULD
BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT WHEN SERVICING A
VEHICLE'S BRAKE SYSTEM, WHEN AFTERMARKET
BRAKE LININGS MAY HAVE BEEN INSTALLED ON
THE VEHICLE. ALWAYS WEAR A RESPIRATOR
WHEN CLEANING BRAKE COMPONENTS AS
ASBESTOS CAN CAUSE SERIOUS BODILY HARM
SUCH AS ASBESTOSIS AND OR CANCER. NEVER
CLEAN BRAKE COMPONENTS BY USING COM-
PRESSED AIR, USE ONLY A VACUUM CLEANER
SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR THE REMOVAL OF
BRAKE DUST. IF A VACUUM CLEANER IS NOT
AVAILABLE, CLEAN BRAKE PARTS USING ONLY
WATER±DAMPENED SHOP TOWELS. DO NOT CRE-
ATE BRAKELINING DUST BY SANDING BRAKE LIN-
INGS WHEN SERVICING A VEHICLE. DISPOSE OF
ALL DUST AND DIRT SUSPECTED OF CONTAINING
ASBESTOS FIBERS USING ONLY SEALED AIR-
TIGHT BAGS OR CONTAINERS. FOLLOW ALL REC-
OMMENDED SAFETY PRACTICES PRESCRIBED BY

CAUTION: Different types of master cylinders are
used on this vehicle. Vehicles equipped with trac-
tion control use a center port master cylinder. Vehi-
cles not equipped with traction control use a
compensating port master cylinder. Be sure to ver-
ify if the vehicle is equipped with traction control
and that the correct replacement master cylinder is
used. Also, vehicles that are equipped with four
wheel disc brakes have a master with a different
size piston bore than the other master cylinders. If
a new master cylinder is being installed, be sure
the correct master cylinder is used for the type of
brake system the vehicle is equipped with.
REMOVE
CAUTION: Vacuum in the power brake booster
must be pumped down (removed) before removing
master cylinder from power brake booster. This is
necessary to prevent the power brake booster from
sucking in any contamination as the master cylin-
der is removed. This can be done simply by pump-
ing the brake pedal, with the vehicle's engine not
running, until a firm feeling brake pedal is achieved.
(1) With engine not running, pump the brake
pedal until a firm pedal is achieved (4-5 strokes).
CAUTION: Before removing the master cylinder
filler tube from the brake fluid reservoir, the filler
tube, brake fluid reservoir and master cylinder must
be thoroughly cleaned. This must be done to pre-
vent dirt particles from falling into the brake fluid
reservoir and entering the brakes hydraulic system.
