Shoe & Lining Replacement: Removal

  1. Remove and discard 2/3 of brake fluid in master cylinder reservoir to prevent overflow during servicing.
    NOTE: Do not remove all fluid or disconnect brake line or it will be necessary to bleed system.
  2. Raise vehicle and remove front wheels. Position a "C" clamp on caliper. Place solid side of clamp against inside of caliper and screw end of clamp against outboard shoe.
  3. Tighten clamp until caliper moves away from vehicle. When caliper moves enough, push piston to bottom of its bore. This will allow shoes to back off from rotor surface.
  4. Remove "C" clamp. Unbolt caliper from steering knuckle or support bracket.
  5. Lift caliper off rotor and support with a wire so brake hose will not be damaged. Remove shoes and shoe support spring from cavity in piston. Remove sleeves from inboard ears of caliper and rubber bushings from all caliper ears.
