REMOVAL
1. To avoid fluid overflow when the caliper pistons are pressed into the caliper bores, siphon or dip part of the brake fluid out of the brake master
cylinder reservoir. Discard the removed fluid.
2. Raise the vehicle on a hoist and install safety stands. Remove the wheel and tire.
NOTE: When raising the vehicle make sure the hoist lift points do not rest on the caliper pins.

3. Place an appropriate size C-clamp on the disc brake caliper with end of clamp frame against caliper housing and end of clamp screw against outer
shoe. Tighten the clamp to bottom the caliper pistons in the caliper bores. Remove the C-clamp.
NOTE: Do not use a screwdriver or similar tool to pry the caliper piston away from the front disc brake hub and rotor.
