Removal Procedure
Caution: Refer to Brake Dust Caution in Service Precautions
1. Raise the vehicle. Refer to Vehicle Lifting.
2. Remove the tire and wheel assembly.
3. Inspect the brake caliper assembly.
Notice: Support the brake caliper with heavy mechanic's wire, or equivalent, whenever it is separated from it's 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.
4. Remove the front brake caliper assembly, relocate the brake caliper to the side.
5. Inspect the brake pads.
6. Remove the front brake pads from the mounting bracket, inboard brake pad shown.
7. Inspect the brake hardware.
