Removal And Installation: Removal
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Jeep Renegade. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
Removal process is the same for both sides of the vehicle.
The Electric Park Brake (EPB) actuator must be retracted into Service Mode position prior to removing the brake caliper assembly. This can be done in two ways:
- A diagnostic scan tool
- Through Uconnect or the cluster's Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) display for vehicles without touchscreen radios (base radios).
CAUTION:
If the Electric Park Brake (EPB) switch is actuated with the caliper removed from the caliper bracket and still connected electrically, the EPB motor will fully extend causing damage to the caliper piston. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable. If equipped with an Intelligent Battery Sensor (IBS), disconnect the IBS connector first before disconnecting the negative battery cable.
- Using a brake pedal holding tool, press the brake pedal past its first 25 mm (1 inch) of travel and hold it in this position. This will isolate the master cylinder from the brake hydraulic system and will not allow the brake fluid to drain out of the master cylinder reservoir when the lines are opened.
- Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable.
- Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to HOISTING, STANDARD PROCEDURE .
- Remove the tire and wheel assembly. Refer to REMOVAL .
- Remove the Electric Park Brake (EPB) actuator. Refer to ACTUATOR, ELECTRIC PARK BRAKE, REMOVAL .
- Remove the brake line (6).
- While keeping the guide pins from turning, remove the caliper guide pin bolts (4).
- Remove the brake caliper from the brake caliper adapter bracket.
