Removal
NOTE: Removal steps in this procedure may contain installation details.
NOTICE: Do not pry in the caliper sight hole to retract the pistons as this can damage the pistons and boots.
NOTICE: Do not allow the brake caliper and anchor plate assembly to hang from the brake hose or damage to the hose can occur.
Remove the covers, the guide pins and position the brake caliper aside.NOTICE: Brake pads with adhesive on the insulator are one-time use only. When the brake pads are separated from the brake caliper, new brake pads must be installed to prevent brake noise and shudder.
Separate the outboard brake pad from the brake caliper. Discard the brake pad.NOTICE: Protect the caliper pistons and boots when pushing the caliper piston into the caliper piston bores or damage to components may occur.
Use a C-clamp and a worn brake pad to compress the disc brake caliper pistons into the brake caliper bore.NOTICE: Brake pads with adhesive on the insulator are one-time use only. When the brake pads are separated from the brake caliper, new brake pads must be installed to prevent brake noise and shudder.
Remove and discard the inboard brake pad.Installation
NOTE: Make sure to use the lubricant supplied with the brake pad kit.
Clean the brake pad-to-anchor plate contact surfaces and apply the lubricant supplied with the brake pad kit.NOTICE: Brake pads with adhesive on the insulator are one-time use only. When the brake pads are separated from the brake caliper, new brake pads must be installed to prevent brake noise and shudder.
NOTICE: Once the foil backing is removed from the brake pads do not touch the adhesive on the backing.
NOTE: Make sure to apply the grease supplied with the brake pad kit to the brake pad-to-anchor plate contact points.
Remove the foil backing from the outboard brake pad and install the new brake pads.NOTICE: Make sure that the brake hose is not twisted when installing the brake caliper or damage to the brake flexible hose may occur.
Position the brake caliper and install the guide pins and covers.The tire pressure monitoring system measures pressure in your road tires and sends the tire pressure readings to your vehicle. You can view the tire pressure readings through the information display. The low tire pressure warning light will turn on if the tire pressure is significantly low. Once the light is illuminated, your tires are under-inflated and need to be inflated to the manufacturer’s recommended tire pressure. Even if the light turns on and a short time later turns off, your tire pressure still needs to be checked.
