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. If the brake fluid level is higher than midway between the maximum-full point and the minimum allowable level, remove brake fluid to the
midway point before proceeding.
4. Raise the vehicle and suitably support. Refer to Vehicle Lifting.
5. Mark the relationship of the wheel to the hub flange.
6. Remove the tire and wheel assembly. Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation.
Notice:
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 inch) of piston travel. Exceeding this amount of piston travel will cause damage to the internal adjusting
mechanism and/or the integral park brake mechanism.
7. Using a large C clamp (1), compress the brake caliper piston into the brake caliper bore to gain enough clearance to allow the brake caliper (2) to
pivot off the brake caliper bracket (3). Compress the piston until resistance is felt, but no more than 1 mm (0.039 inch) of piston travel.
8. Remove the C-clamp from the brake caliper.
9. Remove the bottom brake caliper pin bolt.
10. Remove the park brake cable clamp guide clip from the lower control arm.
