Rear Brake Caliper: Removal
- Depress the brake pedal past its first inch of travel and hold it in this position using a brake pedal depressor tool. This is done to isolate the master cylinder from the brake hydraulic system disallowing the brake fluid to completely drain out of the brake fluid reservoir. Raise and support the vehicle.
- Raise and support vehicle. Remove rear wheel and tire assemblies from vehicle.
- Remove the banjo bolt connecting the brake hose to the brake caliper. There are 2 washers (one on each side of the brake hose fitting) that will come off with the banjo bolt. Discard these washers and use NEW washers upon installation.
- Remove the 2 guide pin bolts mounting the caliper to the adapter. See Fig 1
. Remove caliper from adapter and rotor by first rotating the top of the caliper away from adapter, and then lifting the caliper off the lower machined abutment on adapter. See Fig 2
