CAUTION
Do not lift or support the trailer on any part of the axle or suspension
system. Never go under any trailer unless it is properly supported on
jack stands which have been rated for the load. Improperly supported
vehicles can fall unexpectedly and cause serious injury or death.

3. Disconnect the brake actuation system. Check that the hydraulic system
has zero pressure and that the hub and rotor rotates freely.
4. Remove the brake pad retaining pin.
5. Remove the old pads from the caliper assembly. Save the brake pad
retaining hardware for reinstalling the new pads onto the caliper.
CAUTION
POTENTIAL ASBESTOS DUST HAZARD!
Some older brake linings may contain asbestos dust, which has been
linked to serious or fatal illnesses. Certain precautions need to be
taken when servicing brakes:
1. Avoid creating or breathing dust.
2. Avoid machining, filing or grinding the brake linings.
3. Do not use compressed air or dry brushing for cleaning (dust can
be removed with a damp brush).
Installing the new brake pads
1. First inspect the brake assembly for grooves, aking, cracks, heat
checking, thickness variation, insufcient rotor thickness, and look to
see that the mounting hardware is straight. Replace any component as
needed (or desired) per manufacturer recommendations.
2. Press the caliper pistons into the calipers until enough clearance is
available to t the new pads between the pistons and the rotor.
