Removing the Steering Brake Pads (Gremica Calipers)
Avengers Manufactured Prior to Serial No. 21245
Avengers manufactured prior to the above serial number were built with Grimeca Brake
Calipers. The design of this caliper requires it to be removed from the transmission to allow
the pads to be slipped out through the front of the caliper. The following procedure applies
to these earlier models.
1. Perform the servicing procedure, Removing the Firewall, in section VB of this ser-
vice guide.
2. Raise the vehicle off the ground.
3. Line up the hole provided in the brake disc, with the 2 socket head mounting bolts that
secure the hydraulic brake caliper to the transmission housing. To do this you will need
to rotate the tires by hand until they are lined up for each one. Photo 1
