Removal Procedure
Warning: Refer to Brake Dust Warning (See: Service Precautions/Technician Safety Information/Brake Dust Warning).
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, no brake fluid needs to be removed from the
reservoir before proceeding.
3. Raise and suitably support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle (See: Maintenance/Vehicle Lifting/Service and Repair).
4. Remove the tire and wheel assembly. Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation (See: Maintenance/Wheels and Tires/Service and Repair
).
Caution: When using a large C-clamp to compress a caliper piston into a caliper bore of a caliper equipped with an integral park brake
mechanism, do not exceed more than 1 mm (0.039 in) of piston travel. Exceeding this amount of piston travel will cause damage to the internal
adjusting mechanism and/or the integral park brake mechanism.
5. Install a large C-clamp over the body of the brake caliper with the C-clamp ends against the rear of the caliper body and against the outboard brake
pad.
Do not exceed 1 mm (0.039 in) of caliper piston travel.
6. Tighten the C-clamp until the caliper piston is compressed into the caliper bore enough to allow the caliper to slide past the brake rotor.
7. Remove the C-clamp from the caliper.
8. Remove the lower brake caliper guide pin bolt.
