Installation Guide

Installing the A.B.S 18238 Brake DISCS involves a straightforward process that can be completed with standard automotive tools. Follow these steps for optimal performance:

1. Safety First: Secure the vehicle on jack stands and disconnect the battery.
2. Remove Existing Rotors: Loosen and remove the brake caliper bolts, then detach the calipers. Carefully slide out the old rotors.
3. Prepare the Hub: Clean the hub surface with a degreaser to ensure proper adhesion of the new discs.
4. Install New Discs: Place each A.B.S 18238 disc onto its respective hub, aligning the mounting holes precisely. Tighten the rotor bolts to the manufacturer’s torque specification.
5. Reattach Calipers: Position the calipers over the new discs and secure them with the original bolts.
6. Brake Fluid Check: Inspect brake fluid levels and top up if necessary. Bleed the brakes to eliminate air pockets.
7. Test Drive: Perform a short test drive at low speed, checking for any abnormal noises or vibrations before resuming normal driving conditions.
