b. CALLIPER REMOVAL

 Remove Calliper Clamp (Fig. 3) from Service Trolley bracket.

 Attach Calliper Clamp to calliper by positioning directly above the rotor, between the

inner calliper surfaces and the outer edge of the rotor. Tighten Calliper Clamp using a

30mm socket or spanner until firmly attached by winding threaded shaft until the clamp

locks. A rocking motion may be required to ensure clamp settles between calliper and

rotor.
