STS RWD V8-4.6L VIN A (2006)
1. Remove the brake caliper (2) from the brake caliper bracket (3) and support the brake caliper (2) with heavy mechanic's wire (1), or equivalent.
Do NOT disconnect the hydraulic brake flexible hose from the caliper.
Notice: Support the brake caliper with heavy mechanic's wire, or equivalent, whenever it is separated from its mount and the hydraulic flexible
brake hose is still connected. Failure to support the caliper in this manner will cause the flexible brake hose to bear the weight of the caliper, which
may cause damage to the brake hose and in turn may cause a brake fluid leak.
2. Remove the brake pads (2) from the brake caliper bracket (3).
3. Remove the brake pad retainers (1) from the brake caliper bracket (3).
4. Remove the brake caliper bracket bolts (1).
5. Remove the rear brake caliper bracket.
6. Inspect the brake mounting and hardware.
7. Inspect the brake caliper bracket.
8. Replace the brake caliper bracket if cracked or damaged.
