  1. To prevent master cylinder overflow when caliper piston is depressed, remove and discard some brake fluid from master cylinder reservoir. Raise and support vehicle. Remove front wheel assemblies. Place a large "C" clamp on caliper.
  2. Tighten clamp to bottom piston in cylinder bore. Remove clamp. Remove 2 caliper pin bolts. Remove caliper from rotor and wire aside. Slide brake pads off caliper anchor plate. Remove anchor plate (if necessary). Replace pad if lining thickness is less than specified. See MINIMUM PAD LINING SPECIFICATIONS (FRONT)  .
