MOUNTING THE LATHE
1.
Place automobile in NEUTRAL with
parking brake OFF and raise on lift.
Start on passenger side and remove
wheel nuts and wheel.
2.
Place Spacers on wheel studs as
shown in Figure 1. Replace and
tighten nuts to manufacturer’s
specification using torque wrench.
3.
Remove the brake caliper and hang
it out of the way using an S-Hook.
4.
Remove all rust and dirt from the
brake caliper bolt area. Failure to
clean these surfaces will result in
unsatisfactory machining.
5.
Select Threaded Adapters with
threads matching brake caliper
mounting bolts.
Insert and tighten Threaded Adapters
in the brake caliper bolt mounting
holes.
Some caliper mounting holes are not
threaded. In these cases, use Hollow
Adapters, Threaded Bars, and Bolts.
Refer to Figure 2.
Some caliper mountings may require
special adapters included in the
Deluxe Adapter Kit.
