Caution: Refer to Brake Dust Caution in the Preface section.

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, then no brake fluid needs to be removed from the reservoir before proceeding. If the brake fluid level is higher than midway between the maximum-full point and the minimum allowable level, then remove brake fluid to the midway point before proceeding.
3. Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle .
4. Remove the tire and wheel. Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation .



5. Using a C-clamp installed to the center of the outer disc brake pad and the back of the caliper, slowly compress the caliper piston into its bore just enough to remove the caliper from the mounting bracket.

Notice: Support the brake caliper with heavy mechanic wire, or equivalent, whenever it is separated from its mount and the hydraulic flexible brake hose is still connected. Failure to support the caliper in this manner will cause the flexible brake hose to bear the weight of the caliper, which may cause damage to the brake hose and in turn may cause a brake fluid leak.

6. Remove the disc brake caliper bolts.
7. Remove the disc brake caliper from the mounting bracket.
8. Remove the disc brake pads from the disc brake caliper bracket.
9. Remove the disc brake pad retainers from the disc brake caliper bracket.



10. Remove the caliper pins (5) from the disc brake caliper mounting bracket (3).
11. Remove the caliper pin boots (4) from the disc brake caliper mounting bracket.
12. Lightly wire brush all brake pad contact areas in order to remove any corrosion.

1. Lubricate the inner diameter of the caliper pin boot (4) and install to the caliper mounting bracket (3).
2. Lubricate the outer diameter of the caliper pins (5) and install to the caliper mounting bracket (3).



3. Install the disc brake pad retainers to the disc brake caliper bracket.
4. Install the disc brake pads to the disc brake caliper bracket.
5. Install the disc brake caliper to the mounting bracket.

Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in the Preface section.

6. Install the disc brake caliper bolts.

Tighten
Tighten the disc brake caliper bolts to 35 N·m (26 lb ft).

7. Install the tire and wheel. Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation .
8. Lower the vehicle.
9. Apply and release the brake pedal (3/4 stroke) as many times as necessary in order to obtain a firm brake pedal.
10. Fill the master cylinder to the proper level . Refer to Master Cylinder Reservoir Filling .
