- Raise the vehicle and suitably support. Refer to
Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle
in General Information.
- Remove the wheel and tire assembly. Refer to
Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation
in Tires and Wheels.
- Compress the caliper piston into caliper bore to allow the piston
enough clearance to pass by the bosses on the brake pads.
• | Install a large C-clamp over top of the caliper housing and against
back of the outboard pad. |
• | Slowly tighten C-clamp until piston is pushed into caliper bore
far enough to slide caliper off rotor. |
- Remove brake hose to caliper
bolt attaching the brake hose to the caliper.
- Plug the opening in the caliper and pipe to prevent fluid loss
and contamination.
- Remove the park brake
cable bracket (2) from the brake caliper (1).
Leave the park brake cable attached to the cable bracket.

brake caliper.
- Remove the caliper pin bolts.
- Remove the caliper.
Installation Procedure
- Install the caliper over the brake pads into the caliper anchor
bracket.
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners
must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring
replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant
are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or
corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified.
These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage
the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when
installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
- Install the caliper
pin bolts.
Tighten
Tighten the caliper pin bolts to 27 N·m (20 lb ft).
- Install the brake hose
