REMOVAL PROCEDURE
CAUTION: Avoid taking the following actions when you service wheel brake parts:
^
Do not grind brake linings.
^
Do not sand brake linings.

Do not clean wheel brake parts with a dry brush or with compressed air.
Some models or aftermarket brake parts may contain asbestos fibers which can become airborne in dust. Breathing dust with asbestos fibers may cause
serious bodily harm. Use a water-dampened cloth in order to remove any dust on brake parts. Equipment is available commercially in order to perform
this washing function. These wet methods prevent fibers from becoming airborne.
1. Remove two-thirds of the brake fluid from the master cylinder reservoir using a siphon (or equivalent).
2. Raise and support the vehicle.
3. Remove the tire and wheel assembly.
4. Remove the 2 caliper pin bolts (2).
NOTICE: Do not allow the brake components to hang from the flexible brake hoses. Damage to the brake hoses could result.
5. Remove the caliper assembly (4) from the caliper bracket. Suspend the caliper assembly with wire in order to prevent damage to the brake hose.
