Removal (Front & Rear)

  1. Raise and support vehicle. Remove wheels. Remove caliper assembly, and wire aside. Remove disc brake pads. Remove caliper mounting bracket. Before removing rotor, inspect rotor runout and rotor surfaces for cracks or damage. Using wheel lug nuts and washers, secure rotor to hub. Measure rotor runout 0.4" (10 mm) from edge of rotor. Refinish rotor if runout exceeds specification. See DISC BRAKE SPECIFICATIONS  .
    NOTE: Manufacturer recommends front rotors be resurfaced using on-vehicle disc brake lathe.
  2. Remove 6-mm rotor retaining screws. Install two 8 x 12 mm bolts into existing holes. To prevent warpage, turn bolts alternately 2 turns at a time until rotor can be removed from hub.
  3. Clean rust from rotor. Inspect rotor surfaces for cracks or grooves. Resurface or replace rotor as necessary.
