Replacement

Removing Caliper Mounting Bolts:

^ Tool Required - J 26900-1 Outside Micrometer

Remove or Disconnect

2. Raise and suitably support vehicle.
3. Tire and wheel assembly.
4. Two caliper carrier bolts.

Suspending Caliper:

5. Lift caliper carrier, along with caliper and pads; suspend with a wire to prevent damage to brake hose.

- If rotor thickness is less than specifications, replace the rotor:
^ Rotor Thickness (Minimum): 15 mm (0.59 inch)

6. Two rotor screws.
7. Rotor from wheel hub. If rotor cannot be removed by hand, install two 8 mm bolts into rotor. Tightening the bolts will force rotor off of wheel hub.
