    WARNING: Refer to Brake Dust Warning .
    CAUTION: 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.
  2. Matchmark the position of the brake rotor to the wheel studs.
  3. Remove the rear brake rotor bolt (2).
  4. Remove rear brake rotor (1) from the wheel hub.
