5) Remove banjo bolt connecting brake hose to caliper (Fig. 16). There are two sealing washers (one one each side of hose fitting) that will come off
when bolt is removed. Discard these washers; install new washers on installation.
6) Place an appropriately sized C-Clamp over brake caliper as shown (Fig. 5), placing screw-drive head against outboard shoe and hook against rear
of caliper. Slowly tighten screw-drive retracting caliper pistons into bores and breaking outboard brake shoe free from caliper fingers. Do not
overtighten C-Clamp. Remove C-Clamp.
7) Once outboard shoe is free from caliper fingers, slide caliper inboard on guides providing clearance between the rotor and inboard brake shoe.
8) Slide an appropriate prying tool though center opening in top of caliper behind inboard brake shoe between two caliper pistons. Use care not to
come in contact with pistons or dust boots potentially damaging them. Pry against rear of inboard brake shoe breaking it free from caliper pistons.
9) Remove two brake caliper guide pin bolts (Fig. 6).
10) Slide disc brake caliper off pads and remove from brake caliper adapter.
