MAINTENANCE VEHICLE EXTERIOR
CHECK/ADJUST HEADLAMP ALIGNMENT
Check/adjust headlamp and auxiliary alignment.
CHECK FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT
Use recognised wheel alignment equipment to
perform this check and adjustment.
See STEERING,
Adjustment, Front Wheel Alignment
REMOVE WHEELS, CHECK TYRES
Check tyres (including spare) for compliance with
manufacturers' specification.
Check visually for cuts, lumps, bulges, uneven tread
wear and tread depth. Check road wheels for
damage.
Check/adjust tyre pressures.
CHECK/TIGHTEN TOWING BRACKET FITTINGSINSPECT BRAKE PADS FOR WEAR, CALIPERS
FOR LEAKS AND CONDITION
Check thickness of brake pads, fit new pads if
minimum thickness is less than 3,0mm. Check brake
pads for oil contamination. If new brake pads required.
See BRAKES, Repair, Front Brake Pads
or.See BRAKES, Repair, Rear Brake Pads
WARNING: When renewing brake pads, it
is essential that only genuine components
with correct grade of lining are used.
Always fit new pads as complete axle sets, NEVER
individually or as a single wheel set. Serious
consequences could result from out of balance
braking due to mixing of linings.
Refit road wheels
Fit road wheels in original hub position. Secure in
position with wheel nuts, do not fully tighten wheel
nuts at this stage, lower vehicle and finally tighten
wheel nuts to correct torque.
Alloy wheels:
130 Nm.
Steel wheels:130 Nm.

FAULT DIAGNOSIS 2. STEERING VEER
From 1. GENERAL STEERING:
1.Vehicle veers, not under braking, swap front
tyres side to side.
2.Is problem resolved?
YES - end
NO - continue.
3.Does vehicle now veer in other direction?
YES - fit new tyres
NO - continue.
4.Recentralise steering box.
See Adjustment,
Centralise Steering Box
5.Is problem resolved?
YES - end
NO - contact local technical office.3. VEER UNDER BRAKING
From 1. GENERAL STEERING:
1.Vehicle veers under braking, bleed brake
system.
2.Is problem resolved?
YES - end
NO - continue.
3.Check brake pads for glazing, and discs, axles
etc for contamination.
4.Is problem resolved?
YES - end
NO - continue.
5.Check brake lines and hoses for deterioration.
Replace as necessary.

Service tool:
LRT-70-500 - Piston clamp
Before starting repair refer to general brake service
practice.
See General Brake Service Practice
Remove caliper
1.Loosen front wheel retaining nuts, raise front of
vehicle, lower onto axle stands, remove wheels.
2.Expose flexible brake hose by moving coiled
protective covering.
3.Using a recognised hose clamp, clamp hose to
prevent loss of brake fluid.
4.Disconnect rigid brake pipe from flexible hose,
seal exposed ends to prevent ingress of dirt.
5.Remove split [cotter] pin, retaining pins and
springs, withdraw pads. If refitting pads, identify
them for assembly to original locations.
6.Loosen bolts and remove caliper.
Repair
Do not separate caliper halves
7.Clean outer surfaces of caliper using aerosol
brake cleaner.
8.Using special tool LRT-70-500, clamp pistons in
inboard half of caliper. Gently, keeping fingers
clear, and withCAUTION,apply air pressure to
fluid inlet port to expel pistons. It is unlikely that
pistons will expel at same time, regulate rate
with a suitable piece of wood between
appropriate piston and caliper.
9.Finally remove pistons, identifying them with
their respective bores.
10.Remove wiper seal retainer by inserting a blunt
screwdriver between retainer and seal. Pry
retainer carefully from mouth of bore.
11.Taking care not to damage seal grooves, extract
wiper seal and fluid seal.
12.Clean bores, pistons and seal grooves using
clean brake fluid only. If caliper or pistons are
corroded, or their condition is not perfect, new
parts must be fitted.
