To prevent serious eye injury, always wear safe
eye protection when you perform vehicle
maintenance or service.
Removal
WARNING
Park the vehicle on a level surface. Block the
wheels to prevent the vehicle from moving.
Support the vehicle with safety stands. Do not
work under a vehicle supported only by jacks.
Jacks can slip and fall over. Serious personal
injury can result.
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Place blocks under the wheels not being
serviced to keep the vehicle from moving.
3. If necessary, raise the vehicle so that the
wheels to be serviced are off the ground.
Support the vehicle with safety stands.
4. Remove the wheel.
Brake Linings
1. Remove the bolts that fasten the end plates to
one side of the caliper housing. Remove the end
plates. Replace worn or damaged end plates.
2. Loosen the bleeder screws in the caliper
housings to release hydraulic pressure.
3. Use a piece of wood to pry the linings away
from the disc and push the pistons completely
into the housing. Tighten the bleeder screws.
4. Remove the linings from the housing. Inspect
the linings. Refer to “Linings and End Plates” in
Section 3.
• If you are only changing the linings: Refer to
“Linings” in Section 5.
Caliper Housing
WARNING
Housings are very heavy. Support the housing
during removal and installation. Serious personal
injury or damage to caliper can occur if a caliper
housing falls.
NOTE: To lighten caliper weight, remove the
brake linings from the caliper before you remove
the caliper from the vehicle.
1. Disconnect the brake line from the inlet fitting.
Put a plug in the brake line and the inlet fitting
to prevent contamination of the system.
2. Remove the linings as described earlier in this
section.
3. Remove the fasteners that hold the caliper
housing onto the mounting bracket. Remove
the caliper housing from the mounting bracket.
• If shims are used between the housing and
mounting bracket: Mark the shim positions.
Disassembly
Caliper
1. Remove the inlet fitting and the O-ring from
the cylinder cap. Drain the hydraulic fluid from
the caliper. Discard the fluid.
2. Clean the outside of the housing with isopropyl
alcohol. Dry the housing with a clean cloth.
3. If installed, remove the bolts that hold the end
plates on the housing. Remove the end plates
and linings.
