DeVille DHS V8-4.6L VIN Y (2000)
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners
requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints,
lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping
force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts
and systems.
1. Remove two-thirds of brake fluid from master cylinder.
2. Raise the vehicle and suitably support. Refer to Vehicle Lifting.
3. Remove the wheel and tire assembly. Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation in Wheels, Tires and Alignment.
4. Compress the caliper piston into caliper bore to allow the piston enough clearance to pass by the bosses on the brake pads.
^
Install a large C-clamp over top of the caliper housing and against back of the outboard pad.
^
Slowly tighten C-clamp until piston is pushed into caliper bore far enough to slide caliper off rotor.
5. Remove the bolt attaching the inlet fitting to the caliper, and plug the opening in the caliper and pipe to prevent fluid loss and contamination.
