Brake Caliper: Service and Repair
Removal and Installation
Removal and Installation - Domestic
REMOVAL - FRONT CALIPER
1. Using a brake pedal holding tool, depress brake pedal past its first 1 inch of travel and secure in this position. This will isolate the master cylinder
reservoir from the brake hydraulic system, not allowing the brake fluid to drain out of the reservoir.
2. Raise vehicle on jackstands or centered on a hoist. See Hoisting in Lubrication and Maintenance.
3. Remove front wheel and tire assembly from vehicle.
4. Remove the banjo bolt connecting the brake flex hose to the caliper. There will be two washers (one on each side of the flex hose fitting) that will
come off at the same time.
NOTE: Note the positioning of the two rail shims between the knuckle's machined abutments and the brake shoes.
5. Remove the two caliper guide pin bolts.
