Removal
1. Before removing the caliper, unscrew the cap of the brake hydraulic system replenishment reservoir, pump out two-thirds of the fluid into a sealed container and discard it.
2. Loosen the front wheel nuts, jack up and support the front of the vehicle on axle stands. Remove the front wheels.
3. If the caliper needs to be removed from the vehicle, remove the brake hose tip bolt and disconnect the tip.
4. Unscrew the two mounting bolts and remove the caliper. If the caliper will not be removed from the vehicle, do not disconnect the hose. Move the caliper to the side and hang it on a piece of wire so as not to damage the brake hose.
Installation
5. Inspect the mounting bolts for signs of corrosion and the rubber bushings and dust boots for damage. Replace them if necessary. Before installation, lubricate the contact surfaces of bolts, bushings and dust boots with white lithium grease.
6. Install the caliper, insert the bolts and tighten them to the specified tightening torque Specifications.
7. Install the brake hose (if removed). If the hose was disconnected, bleed the brakes (Chapter 15).
8. Install the wheels and lower the car to the ground. Tighten the wheel nuts.
9. If the brakes do not need bleeding, press the brake pedal several times to bring the pads to the disc. Check the brake fluid level and top up the reservoir if necessary.
