BRAKE SERVICE PROCEDURES FOR 2003 Oldsmobile Alero AUTOMOBILES
Drum Brakes -> Type 5 -> Precautions
Vehicle: 2003 Oldsmobile Alero 3.4 V6 GAS
When working on or around brake assemblies, care must be taken to prevent breathing asbestos dust, as many manufacturers incorporate asbestos fibers in the production of brake linings. During routine service operations the amount of asbestos dust from brake lining wear is at a low level due to a chemical breakdown during use, and a few precautions will minimize exposure.
- Do not sand or grind brake linings unless suitable local exhaust ventilation equipment is used to prevent excessive asbestos exposure.
- Wear a suitable respirator approved for asbestos dust use during all repair proced...
