Removal Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 GMC Sierra and 2002 Chevrolet Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Release the park brake
  2. Raise and suitably support the vehicle
  3. Remove the tire and wheel assembly
  4. Mark the relationship of the rotor to the hub
  5. Remove the brake caliper bracket mounting bolts
    NOTE: Support the brake caliper with heavy mechanic 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
  6. Remove the brake caliper and brake caliper bracket as an assembly and support with heavy mechanic's wire or equivalent. DO NOT disconnect the hydraulic brake flexible hose from the caliper
  7. Remove the rotor retaining push nuts from the wheel studs, if applicable
  8. It may be necessary to strike the end of the hub or the rotor with a deadblow hammer to separate the rotor from the hub
