Removal
1. Check the thickness of the pads through the hole in the brake caliper.
2. If the pads need to be replaced, remove the wear sensor.
3. Remove the retaining clip and remove the brake hose from the mounting bracket.
Models before 1998 with 4-cylinder engine
4. Remove the large spring clip.
5. Remove the caps.
6. Loosen and remove the caliper finger bolts.
7. Remove the caliper. Remove the outer brake pad from the caliper mounting bracket.
8. Remove the inner brake pad from the caliper piston.
4-cylinder models from 1998 and all 6-cylinder models
9. Unscrew and remove the lower caliper pin bolt.
10. Raise the caliper.
11. Remove the inner and outer brake pads.
Inspection
1. Measure the thickness of the brake pads. If any of the brake pads require replacement, all four brake pads on both wheels must be replaced.
2. Lower the piston into the caliper using a clamp.
3. Lubricate the back of the pads with high temperature grease.
4. Lubricate the surrounding areas on the caliper mounting bracket with high temperature grease.
Installation
Installation is the reverse of removal. On pre-1998 4-cylinder models, install the retaining spring so that its ends fit into the holes in the caliper.
