Removal Procedure
1. Release the park brake, if necessary.
2. Inspect the fluid level in the brake master cylinder reservoir.
3. If the fluid level is midway between the maximum - full point, and the minimum allowable level, no fluid needs to be removed from the reservoir
before proceeding.
4. If the fluid level is higher than midway between the maximum - full point, and the minimum allowable level, remove fluid to the midway point
before proceeding.
5. Remove the tire and wheel assembly.
6. Mark the relationship of the rotor to the hub.
7. Compress the brake caliper pistons.
1. Install a large C-clamp over the top of the caliper housing and against the back of the outboard pad.
2. Slowly tighten the C-clamp until the pistons are pushed completely into the caliper bores.
3. Remove the C-clamp from the caliper.
