Removal

NOTE:
^ The brake pads differ from side to side and have a specified direction of rotation.
^ When planning to re-install used pads, first mark their original locations. Re-install them in the same positions to avoid uneven braking.

Guide Pin Cap Removal:

1. Remove protective caps.

Anti Rattle Spring Removal:

2. Pry off brake pad retaining spring from brake caliper housing with a screwdriver and remove.

Guide Pin Removal:

3. Remove both guide pins from brake caliper.
4. Remove brake caliper housing and lay to one side so that weight of brake caliper does not stress or damage brake hose.
5. Disconnect brake line, cap and plug lines and fittings.
6. Take brake pads out of brake caliper housing and from brake carrier.

Installation

NOTE:
^ Before installing new brake pads, remove some brake fluid from the reservoir with a bleeder bottle. If reservoir has been topped up, fluid may overflow and cause damage.
^ After replacing the brake pads, depress brake pedal firmly several times with the vehicle stationary so that the brake pads are properly seated in their normal operating position.

Pressing Piston Back:

1. Ensure piston is fully pressed back and caliper is thoroughly clean.
2. Connect brake fluid lines.

Inner Brake Pads:

3. Install inner brake pad (inserting retaining spring into brake caliper piston).
