Front Brake Rotor
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Dodge Avenger and 2013 Chrysler 200. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
Before proceeding, refer to WARNING .
- Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to HOISTING, STANDARD PROCEDURE .
- Remove the wheel mounting nuts (3), then the tire and wheel assembly (1).NOTE:
In some cases, it may be necessary to retract the caliper piston in its bore a small amount in order to provide sufficient clearance between the pads and the rotor to easily remove the caliper from the knuckle. This can usually be accomplished before the guide pin bolts are removed, by grasping the inboard side of the caliper and pulling outward working with the guide pins, thus retracting the piston. Never push on the piston directly as it may get damaged.
- Remove the two bolts (3) securing disc brake caliper and adapter bracket (1) to the steering knuckle (2).
- Remove the disc brake caliper and adapter bracket (1) from the knuckle (2) and rotor (4) as an assembly. Hang the assembly out of the way using wire or a bungee cord. Use care not to overextend the brake hose when doing this.
- Slide the brake rotor (2) off the hub and bearing (1).
