Front Disc Brake Shoes: Removal

  1. Raise the vehicle.
  2. Remove both front wheel and tire assemblies.
    3. NOTE: Using this procedure, begin on one side of the vehicle.
  3. Remove the anti-rattle spring from the outboard side of the caliper and adapter. See Fig 1.
  4. Remove the 2 caps in place over the caliper guide pin bolts. See Fig 2.
  5. Remove the 2 caliper guide pin bolts. See Fig 3.
  6. Remove caliper from caliper adapter and brake rotor. The outboard shoe will probably stay with the caliper adapter while the inboard shoe will come off with the caliper as the caliper is removed.
    7. CAUTION: Supporting weight of caliper by the flexible brake fluid hose can damage the hose.
  7. Using wire or cord, hang the caliper from the front strut assembly. See Fig 4. Support the caliper firmly to prevent weight of caliper from being supported by the brake fluid hose.
  8. Remove the outboard brake shoe from the caliper adapter.
  9. Pull the inboard brake shoe away from the caliper piston until the retaining clip on shoe is free from the cavity in the caliper piston. See Fig 5.
  10. Repeat the previous procedures on other side of the vehicle.
