Removal
1. Check fluid level in brake master cylinder reservoir. Remove brake fluid until brake master cylinder reservoir is half-full.
2. Raise vehicle on hoist.
3. Remove wheel and tire. Use care to avoid damage or interference with wheel cylinder bleeder screw during removal.

4. Note: It is not necessary to disconnect hydraulic connections.

Remove two caliper anchor bracket mounting bolts and discard.






5. Lift disc brake caliper/front disc brake caliper anchor plate away from front disc brake rotor using a rotating motion.
6. Remove outer brake shoe and lining assembly from disc brake caliper assembly by sliding brake shoe and lining in front disc brake caliper anchor plate away from outer leg to disengage it from the front disc brake caliper anchor plate. Remove outer brake shoe and lining.
7. Remove inner brake shoe and lining assembly from disc brake caliper assembly by sliding brake shoe and lining in front disc brake caliper anchor plate away from caliper piston disengaging it from the front disc brake caliper anchor plate. Remove inner brake shoe and lining.
8. Support the disc brake caliper assembly in a manner that will not stretch or damage the front brake hose.
9. Inspect both disc brake rotor braking surfaces. Minor scoring or buildup of brake shoe and lining material does not require machining or replacement of the front disc brake rotor. Hand-sand glaze off both front disc brake rotor braking surfaces using garnet paper 100A (medium grit) or aluminum oxide 150-J (medium grit).

Installation






1. Use a 10 cm (4 inch) C-clamp and wood block 70 mm x 25 mm (2.75 x 1 inch) and approximately 19 mm (0.75 inch) thick to seat caliper piston in its bore. This must be done to provide clearance for disc brake caliper assembly to fit over front disc brake rotor during installation.
2. Make sure disc brake anti-rattle spring is seated in caliper lining inspection opening and must be installed from the lining side.
3. Engage the brake shoe and lining in the front disc brake caliper anchor plate by first engaging the side opposite the disc brake pad anti-rattle clip. Press the other end of the brake shoe and lining to compress the disc brake pad anti-rattle clip and engage the brake shoe and lining in the front disc brake caliper anchor plate. Both inner and outer brake shoes and linings are installed in the same manner.
4. Inspect disc brake caliper/front disc brake caliper anchor plate assembly to make sure brake shoes and linings are properly installed.

5. Note: It is important to use correct bolt (M14 x 2.0 x 31 mm long).

Position disc brake caliper/front disc brake caliper anchor plate assembly over front disc brake rotor. Install two new disc brake caliper anchor bracket mounting bolts. Tighten to 170-230 N-m (126-169 lb-ft).

6. CAUTION: Failure to tighten lug nuts in a star pattern may result in high rotor runout, which will speed up the development of brake roughness, shudder and vibration.

Install wheel and tire assembly, using Rotunda Accutorq Lug Nut Sockets 164-R0303 or equivalent on 1/2 inch drive air impact wrench or torque wrench to tighten lug nuts to 115-142 N-m (85-104 lb-ft).

7. Lower vehicle.
8. Pump brake pedal several times to position brake shoes and linings. Refill brake master cylinder as necessary.
9. Road test vehicle.
