DISC BRAKE CALIPER REAR
REMOVAL
NOTE: Before proceeding, Refer to Service Precautions.
1. Using a brake pedal holding tool as shown, depress the brake pedal past its first one inch of travel and hold it in this position. This will
isolate the master cylinder from the brake hydraulic system and will not allow the brake fluid to drain out of the master cylinder
reservoir while the lines are disconnected.
2. Raise the vehicle.
3. Remove the rear tire and wheel assembly.
4. Remove the banjo bolt connecting the brake hose to the brake caliper. There are two washers (one on each side of the flex hose fitting)
that will come off with the banjo bolt. Discard the washers.
NOTE: In some cases, it may be necessary to retract the caliper piston in its bore a small amount in order to provide sufficient clearance between
the shoes and the rotor to easily remove the caliper from the knuckle. This can usually be accomplished before the guide pin bolts are removed, by
grasping the rear of the caliper and pulling outward working with the guide pins, thus retracting the piston. Never push on the piston directly as it
may get damaged.
