Removal

WARNING: Asbestos fiber dust can be present on brake and clutch assemblies
and is hazardous if inhaled. Brake and clutch assemblies must be cleaned using a
vacuum cleaner recommended for use with asbestos fibers such as a brake/clutch/
service vacuum. The bag must be labeled per OSHA instruction, sealed, and the
trash hauler notified as to the bag's contents. If a vacuum suitable for asbestos is
not available, cleaning must be done wet. If dust generation is still possible,
technicians must wear government-approved toxic dust purifying respirators.

WARNING: Occupational health and safety act (OSHA) requires areas where
asbestos dust generation is possible to be isolated and posted with warning signs.
Only technicians performing brake or clutch repair are to be present in the area.

1. Remove the rear disc brake rotor. For additional information, refer to
