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. Mark the relationship of the wheel to the axle flange.
6. Remove the tire and wheel assembly.
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
pads.
8. Tighten the C-clamp until the caliper pistons are compressed into the caliper bores enough to allow the caliper to slide past the brake rotor.
9. Remove the C-clamp from the brake caliper.
10. Remove the brake hose to caliper bolt attaching the brake hose to the brake caliper.
11. Remove and discard the 2 copper brake hose gaskets. These gaskets may be stuck to the brake caliper and/or the brake hose end.
