Removal Procedure
1. Inspect the fluid level in the brake master cylinder reservoir.
2. If the brake fluid level is midway between the maximum-full point and the minimum allowable level, then no brake fluid needs to be removed from
the reservoir before proceeding. If the brake fluid level is higher than midway between the maximum-full point and the minimum allowable level,
then remove brake fluid to the midway point before proceeding.
3. Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to Vehicle Lifting.
4. Remove the tire and wheel.
Important: The upper caliper guide pin has a bushing as part of the pin guide. The lower caliper guide pin is of a solid design.
5. Remove the brake caliper.
Notice: Support the brake caliper with heavy mechanic's wire, or equivalent, whenever it is separated from its 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.
6. To loosen the brake caliper pin bolts, hold the brake caliper guide pin with a wrench.
7. Remove the brake caliper pin bolts.
8. Remove the brake caliper (1) from the mounting bracket.
