Removal and InstallationNFS00051
COMPONENTS
Pay attention to the following when removing actuator.
CAUTION:

Before servicing, disconnect battery cables.

To remove brake tube, use flare nut wrench to prevent flare nuts and brake tube from being dam-
aged. To install, use flare nut wrench (commercial service tool).

Do not remove and install actuator by holding harness.

After work is completed, bleed air from brake piping. Refer to BR-11, "Bleeding Brake System" .

Be sure to securely connect the ground cable.
