ROTOR INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS &
BREAK IN PROCEDURE
**PLEASE READ BEFORE USING THIS PART**
-
Do not
turn or machine this rotor prior to installation.
-
Do not
use impact wrenches under any circumstances.
-
New brake pads must be used when installing
POWER STOP rotors. Recommended pads compatible for use
with POWER STOP rotors are REPCO/AXXIS "Metal Master" for
imports, and POWER STOP
"9-1-1 Extreme Performance"
for domestic vehicles.
-
Use
a reputable service manual and follow the regular brake
replacement procedures.
-
Remove the caliper assembly without
disconnecting hydraulic brake lines if possible. Examine caliper
for leaks, seized pistons, broken dust boots, rust etc. and
replace or repair if necessary. Otherwise, suspend caliper from
frame or vehicle with wire or hook. Take extra care not to stain
hydraulic crossover line. Remove any rust or dust from the caliper
using a wire brush
being careful not to damage piston or rubber boot. Clean all
brake parts with a safe solvent.
-
POWER STOP rotors are
unidirectional. Be sure to check the last initial of the part
number (L or R) to determine left or
right.
-
POWER STOP recommends
that you flush your brake fluid and bleed the entire system with a
high grade DOT 4 or better
fluid.
-
Depress the brake pedal several times before
driving the vehicle. This will properly position the brake pads
and establish the pedal height. Some vehicles may have a very low
pedal until pads become completely seated. After determining the
installation was correctly and safely carried out, test-drive the
vehicle. During testing make several stops at safe
speeds to be sure that the system is correctly installed and
working properly.
-
Avoid excessive or high speed braking until
the brake pads and POWER STOP rotors seat in. This will take
approximately 200-500 miles.
NOT FOLLOWING BREAK IN PROCEDURES WILL
SEVERELY AFFECT THE
PERFORMANCE OF THE POWER STOP SYSTEM.
-
Remember your brakes are the most crucial
component of your car. Regular inspections
are essential for continued safety.
-
Under heavy braking conditions a slight
whirring noise might be detectable. A solid brake
disk may produce more noise than a vented brake rotor. This
noise is normal.
-
Please remember that your brake system should
not be taken lightly. It is the most important component of your
car. If you are unclear about any part of the installation, please
consult a certified mechanic. Your safety depends on the proper
functioning
of the brake system.
-
Cross-drilled rotors are a performance upgrade
part. Under normal and spirited driving they should out perform
your car's factory brakes. But as with any brake system, abusive
driving will result in premature pad and rotor wear. POWER STOP
can only be responsible
for factory defects in the rotors.
POWER STOP ROTORS ARE FOR STREET AND
RECREATIONAL OFF ROAD USE ONLY. THEY ARE NOT DESIGNED OR APPROVED
FOR OFF ROAD RACING
OR COMPETITION DRIVING.
