Disc Brake Shoe & Lining: Removal

Remove enough brake fluid from master cylinder to prevent overflow when piston is pushed into caliper. Raise and support front of vehicle and remove front wheels.
Be careful not to pry directly against plastic caliper piston. Remove caliper locating pins.
NOTE: If caliper end retainer is loosened more than 1/2 turn, brake fluid may leak into parking brake mechanism chamber. If this happens, remove end retainer and clean parking brake mechanism chamber.
On all models, lift caliper assembly from anchor plate and rotor. Support caliper assembly with wire to prevent damage to brake hose. Remove outer shoe. Remove inner shoe and anti-rattle clip or spring.
On RWD models, remove and discard locating pin insulators and plastic sleeves. DO NOT reuse these parts.
