Brake Caliper Bracket Replacement- Front

Removal Procedure





Notice: Support the brake caliper with heavy mechanic's wire, or equivalent, whenever it is separated from it's 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.

1. Remove the caliper from the mounting bracket and support the caliper with heavy mechanics wire or equivalent. DO NOT disconnect the hydraulic brake flexible hose from the caliper.
2. Remove the front brake pads.

Caution: These fasteners MUST be replaced with new fasteners anytime they become loose or are removed. Failure to replace these fasteners after they become loose or are removed may cause loss of vehicle control and personal injury.

Important: The NEW brake caliper bracket bolts come with an encapsulated thread compound already on the bolt.

3. Remove the caliper bracket bolts (2).
4. Remove the caliper bracket (1).
