Remove the cap from the brake fluid reservoir, then loosen the wheel lug nuts and raise the front or rear of the vehicle, supporting it securely on jackstands while blocking the wheels at the opposite end. Remove the wheels and work on one brake assembly at a time, using the assembled brake for reference if necessary. Inspect the
Brake Disc carefully; if machining is needed, remove the disc, allowing for the removal of the pads as well. Push the piston back into its bore to create space for the new brake pads, using a C-clamp to accomplish this. As the piston is depressed, ensure the fluid in the master cylinder does not overflow, siphoning off some if necessary. For front brake pad replacement, follow the provided illustrations in order, reading the captions. For rear brake pad replacement, wash the brake assembly with brake cleaner before disassembly, avoiding compressed air, then follow the illustrations in order, reading the captions. When reinstalling the caliper, tighten the mounting bolts to the specified torque, and after completing the job, firmly depress the brake pedal a few times to bring the pads into contact with the disc. Check the brake fluid level, adding if necessary, and carefully check the operation of the brakes before returning the vehicle to normal service.
