Special Tools Required
Brake caliper piston compressor 07AAE-SEPA101

CAUTION: Frequent inhalation of brake pad dust, regardless of material composition, could be hazardous to your health.
^ Avoid breathing dust particles.
^ Never use an air hose or brush to clean brake assemblies. Use an OSHA-approved vacuum cleaner.

Inspection

NOTE: Due to the high performance nature of the brake system, the rotors and pads may wear faster. Be sure to inspect the front rotor thickness anytime the front pads are replaced.

1. Raise the front of the vehicle, and support it with safety stands in the proper locations.
2. Remove the front wheels.
3. Check the thickness of the inner brake pad (A) and outer pad (B). Do not include the thickness of the brake pad backing plate.





4. If the brake pad thickness is less than the service limit, replace all the front brake pads as a set.
