Removal
If it is necessary to remove the caliper from the vehicle, remove the brake fluid reservoir cap and pump out 2/3 of the fluid volume.
Loosen the front wheel nuts, raise the front of the vehicle, support it securely on stands and remove the front wheels.
If it is necessary to remove the caliper from the vehicle, unscrew the hollow bolt securing the brake hose to the caliper.
Remove the two bolts and remove the caliper from the vehicle. If you don't need to remove the caliper from the car, secure it to the suspension strut with twine or wire so that the caliper doesn't hang by the brake hose.
Installation
Inspect the bolts for excessive corrosion and the rubber bushings and boots for tears or damage, replacing them with new ones if necessary. Before installation, lubricate the contact surfaces of the bolts and bushings with lithium-based lubricant and clean the boots.

Position the caliper correctly in relation to the brake disc and steering knuckle and secure with bolts, tightening them to the specified torque.
Connect the brake hose (if he was filming) and screw in the hollow bolt. If the brake hose has been disconnected from the caliper, bleed the air from the hydraulic brake system.
Make sure that when turning the front wheel from one extreme position to another, the brake hose does not come into contact with the front suspension elements and the body.
Install the wheels and lower the car to the ground. Tighten the wheel nuts.
If bleeding of the hydraulic brake system is not required, press the brake pedal several times until the brake pads are installed with a certain gap in relation to the brake disc.
Check the brake fluid level and top it up if necessary.
Important! Please purchase a brake caliper repair kit for your vehicle model first.
