    ■ Sub-Procedure 

    • Removal 

    NOTE: If the brake disc is stuck to the hub, thread two 8 x 1.25 mm bolts (a) into the brake disc to push it away from the hub. Turn each bolt 90° at a time to prevent the brake disc from binding.

    • Installation 

    NOTE:
    • Brake discs marked with "FNC" on the brake disc hat cannot be refinished and must be replaced if they are out of specifications.
    • When replacing the brake disc, use a brake caliper piston compressor to push in the piston before installing the brake caliper.

    Each tire pressure sensor contains a lithium anode battery that is not removable. The complete tire pressure sensor should be disposed of according to local battery disposal guidelines or requirements. Improper battery disposal can be harmful to the environment.

    NOTE: The images and procedures for removing the tire from the wheel are for reference only. Remove the tire from the wheel according to the procedure listed by your tire changing machine manufacturer.

    • Installation 

    1. Install the tire pressure sensor (g) so that the sensor housing surface (h) is below the protrusion (i) of the wheel to prevent the sensor housing from being caught on the bead of the tire when installing the tire. Be sure to always mount the tire pressure sensor with the feet (k) in the downward position toward the wheel. (Figure 3)

    NOTE:
    • Do not use air or electric impact tools to tighten the valve stem nut.
    • Do not twist the tire pressure sensor to adjust its position with the wheel, as this will damage or deform the valve stem grommet.
