1. Inspect the fluid level in the brake master cylinder reservoir.
2. If the brake fluid level is midway between the maximum-full point and the minimum allowable level, then no brake fluid needs to be removed from
the reservoir before proceeding. If the brake fluid level is higher than midway between the maximum-full point and the minimum allowable level,
then remove brake fluid to the midway point before proceeding.

2. Slowly tighten the C-clamp (3) until the piston pushes into the caliper bore enough to slide the caliper (2) off the rotor.
