Compass 4WD L4-24L VIN W (2007) Brake Rotor/Disc Service and Repair
Brake Rotor/Disc: Removal and Replacement
Front Brake Rotor
FRONT BRAKE ROTOR
NOTE: Refer to Warnings and Cautions.
1. Raise and support the vehicle.
2. Remove the wheel mounting nuts (3), then the tire and wheel assembly (1).
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 pads 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 inboard side 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.
3. Remove the two bolts (3) securing disc brake caliper and adapter bracket (1) to the steering knuckle (2).
4. Remove the disc brake caliper and adapter bracket (1) from the knuckle (2) and rotor (4) as an assembly. Hang the assembly out of the way using
wire or a bungee cord. Use care not to overextend the brake hose when doing this.
