Removal and Installation
1. Wipe the area clean and remove the brake master cylinder filler cap. Check the brake fluid level in the brake master cylinder reservoir. Remove fluid until the brake master cylinder reservoir is half full.

2. WARNING: If the vehicle is equipped with air suspension, the electrical power to the air suspension system must be shut off prior to hoisting, jacking or towing an air suspension vehicle. This can be accomplished by turning off the air suspension switch located in the luggage compartment. Failure to do so can result in unexpected inflation or deflation of the air springs, which can result in shifting of the vehicle during these operations.

Remove the wheel and tire assembly.





3. CAUTION: Do not pry in caliper sight hole to retract pistons as this can damage the pistons and boots.

Remove the lower brake caliper bolt and loosen the upper brake caliper bolt.





4. Detach the lining from the caliper and rotate the caliper upward.





5. Remove the pads and stainless steel slippers from the anchor plate.
^ Discard the slippers.





6. NOTE: Use a wood block or used brake pad to protect the pistons and boots.

Using a C-clamp, compress the brake caliper pistons.
7. To install, reverse the removal procedure.
^ Fill the brake master cylinder reservoir with clean brake fluid. Install the brake master cylinder filler cap.
^ Apply the brake pedal several times before driving the vehicle.
