HYDRAULIC AND PARK BRAKE SYSTEMS
Brake Disc and Hub
CAUT ION • Wrap a plastic wire tie around the caliper body to a place on the frame so that it does not hang suspended by the hydraulic brake hose. 6. Remove the outer tie rod end from the upright. 7. Remove the lower ball joint from the upright (Figure 6-9, Page 6-11).

8. Remove the upper ball joint from the upright (Figure 6-10, Page 6-11). See following NOTE and CAUTION. NOTE: It may be necessary to use a ball joint removal tool to separate the ball joint stud from the upright.
CAUT ION • Take care when separating the ball joint stud from the upright so as not to tear or puncture the rubber seal around the ball socket. If damaged, the ball joint with rubber boot must be replaced. 9. Remove the wheel hub, disc, and bearing assembly from the splined spindle and CV joint half shaft. 10. Remove the wheel hub and disc from the bearing and upright. See following CAUTION and NOTE.
CAUT ION • The wheel disc and hub are one piece and the splined shaft of the hub is press-fit into the wheel bearing. Removing the wheel hub and disc splined shaft will destroy the wheel bearing and will require a new wheel bearing during assembly. NOTE: Removing the wheel disc and hub from the bearing will require the use of a hydraulic press. 10.1. Place 2 x 2-inch, or larger, steel blocks (1) onto the platen bars of a hydraulic press (Figure 6-11, Page 6-12). 10.2. Position the disc (6) and upright (5) between the blocks. 10.3. Place a 2 x 1/4-inch flat steel bar (2) under each arm of the upright (5) on the steel blocks (1). 10.4. Position a shim block (3) under each of the two flat steel bars (2) directly under each arm location. Bobcat 2200/2200S/2300 Gasoline and Diesel Vehicle Service Manual
