  1. Raise the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle in General Information.
  2. Remove the tire and wheel assembly. Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation in Suspension.

    4. 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.
  4. Remove the rear brake caliper assembly, relocate the brake caliper to the side. Refer to Brake Caliper Replacement - Rear .
  5. Inspect the brake pads. Refer to Brake Rotor Surface and Wear Inspection .
