Removal Procedure
- Raise and suitably support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle .
- Remove the tire and wheel assembly. Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation .
- Without disconnecting the hydraulic brake flex hose, remove and support the rear brake caliper and bracket as an assembly and remove the rear brake rotor. Refer to Rear Brake Rotor Replacement .
- Remove the wheel speed sensor bolt (1).
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.
- Remove the wheel speed sensor (2).
- Remove the 4 wheel bearing/hub mounting bolts (1).
- Remove the wheel bearing/hub assembly (2) and rear brake shield (1) from the rear axle.
