1. Raise and support the vehicle Service and Repair.

2. Remove the front wheel.

3. Remove the brake hose bracket mounting bolt (A).





4. Remove the brake caliper bracket mounting bolts (B), then remove the caliper assembly (C) from the knuckle. To prevent damage to the caliper assembly or brake hose, use a short piece of wire to hang the caliper assembly from the undercarriage. Do not twist the brake hose excessively.

NOTE: Before installing the brake disc, clean the mating surfaces between the hub bearing unit and the inside of the brake disc.
