Front Brake Rotor: Removal

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Pontiac Vibe. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Raise and support the vehicle. Remove the tire and wheel. Install a C-clamp over the top of the brake caliper and against the back of the outboard brake pad. Tighten the C-clamp until the brake caliper piston pushes into the brake caliper bore enough to slide the brake caliper off of the rotor. Remove the C-clamp from the brake caliper.
  2. Remove the caliper bracket bolts. See Figure . Do not disconnect the brake flexible hose bolt. Remove the brake caliper and the caliper mounting bracket as an assembly from the suspension knuckle and support the assembly with heavy mechanic's wire, or equivalent. Ensure that there is no tension on the hydraulic brake flexible hose.
  3. Matchmark the position of the brake rotor to the wheel studs. Remove the brake rotor.
