Remove the cap from the brake fluid reservoir, then loosen the wheel lug nuts, raise the front or rear of the vehicle, and support 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 necessary, remove the disc to also take out the pads. Push the piston back into its bore to create space for the new brake pads, using a C-clamp for this task, and ensure the fluid in the master cylinder does not overflow, siphoning off some if needed. When replacing the front brake pads, wash the brakes with brake cleaner before disassembly, and maintain order while reading the captions under each illustration. When removing the caliper mounting bolts, use a second wrench to hold the hex on the sliding pin. Upon reinstalling the caliper, tighten the mounting bolts to the specified torque, then firmly depress the brake pedal a few times to bring the pads into contact with the disc. Finally, check the brake fluid level and add if necessary, ensuring the brakes operate correctly before returning the vehicle to normal service.
