    NOTE: Support the brake caliper with heavy mechanic's wire, or equivalent, whenever it is separated from its mount and the hydraulic flexible brake hose is still connected. Failure to support the caliper in this manner will cause the flexible brake hose to bear the weight of the caliper, which may cause damage to the brake hose and in turn may cause a brake fluid leak.
    IMPORTANT: Do NOT disconnect the hydraulic brake flexible hose from the caliper.
  3. Remove the brake caliper and the caliper mounting bracket (14) as an assembly from the suspension knuckle and support the assembly with heavy mechanic's wire, or equivalent. Verify that there is no tension on the hydraulic brake flexible hose. Refer to Brake Caliper Bracket Replacement - Front .
  4. Use paint in order to mark the position of the brake rotor (5) to the hub (4).
  5. Remove the brake rotor.
