1. Inspect the supplier’s manufacturing date code on new service brake discs to confirm they are from the newest mold. Wheel hub date stamping must be May 27, 2015 or later and the casting core number in the vent slots must be 11 or greater. If the new service parts do not meet these criteria, do not install them. Re-order a new set.

 

2. With the vehicle on a lift, remove both front wheels.
3. Replace both front brake discs and brake pads. Refer to the service information.
4. Reinstall all removed parts in the reverse order of removal.
