REMOVAL
1. Remove and discard sufficient brake fluid from the brake master cylinder reservoir to allow for caliper piston displacement.
2. Raise and support the vehicle.
3. Remove the tire and wheel assembly.
4. Using a C-clamp:
^
Position the frame of the C-clamp on the inboard side of the disc brake caliper. Do not place the clamp frame over the front brake hose.
^
Position the C-clamp screw on the outboard brake shoe and lining.
^
Tighten the C-clamp only enough to give removal clearance for the disc brake caliper.
5. Remove the two front disc brake caliper anchor plate bolts.
6. Slide the caliper and anchor bracket assembly off the front disc brake hub and rotor. Using a wire, support the disc brake caliper from a convenient
underbody component.
