REMOVAL

1. Remove approximately two thirds of the brake fluid from the master cylinder.
2. Raise and support vehicle, then remove wheel and tire assembly.
3. Loosen the parking brake cable housing adjusting nut, then remove the cable housing from the bracket and the parking lever.
4. Remove the lower caliper retaining bolt, then pivot the caliper to clear the brake pads. If necessary, pry the caliper outward.
5. Remove the caliper, then support caliper with wire from strut assembly.
6. Remove the V-springs from the disc pads, then remove the disc pads, anti-rattle shims and retaining clips. If disc pads and anti-rattle shims are to be reused, they must be installed in their original position, Fig. 15.
7. If necessary, remove and resurface the rotor at this time. The rotor must be machined while it is bolted to the hub. The rotor and hub are mounted as an assembly on the rotor lathe to decrease the possibility of rotor runout.

INSTALLATION

1. Install the disc pad retaining clips, then position the anti-rattle shims on the disc pads.
2. Position the disc pads into the caliper anchor bracket.
3. Install the V-springs into the disc pads.
4. Lubricate the guide pin bushings with High Temperature Grease part No. D7AZ-19590-A or equivalent.
5. Install the caliper on the guide pin, then pivot the caliper over the brake disc pads.
6. Install the caliper retaining bolt, then torque to 12-17 ft. lbs.
7. Perform system brake bleeding procedures.
8. Position the parking brake cable into the parking brake lever and bracket.
9. Adjust the parking brake cable so there is no clearance between the cable end and the parking brake lever.
10. Torque the parking brake cable locknut to 14-21 ft. lbs.
11. Install wheel and tire assembly.
