DeVille DTS V8-4.6L VIN 9 (2002)
Removal Procedure
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, no brake fluid needs to be removed from the
reservoir before proceeding.
3. If the brake fluid level is higher than midway between the maximum-full point and the minimum allowable level, remove brake fluid to the
midway point before proceeding.
4. Raise the vehicle and suitably support. Refer to Vehicle Lifting.
5. Remove the tire and wheel assembly.
6. Hand tighten 2 wheel lug nuts to retain the rotor to the hub.
7. Install a large C-clamp over the body of the brake caliper with the C-clamp ends against the rear of the caliper body and against the outer brake
pad.
8. Tighten the C-clamp until the caliper piston is compressed into the caliper bore enough to allow the caliper to slide past the brake rotor.
9. Remove the C-clamp from the caliper.
10. Remove the brake hose to caliper bolt attaching the brake hose to the brake caliper.
11. Remove and discard the two copper brake hose gaskets. These gaskets may be stuck to the brake caliper and/or the brake hose end.
12. Plug the opening in the brake caliper and pipe to prevent fluid loss and contamination.
