Disc Brake Caliper & Pads - Rear (MONACO & Premier): Removal
- Raise and support vehicle. Remove wheel and tire assembly. Unseat parking brake return spring at operating lever. Remove bolt from operating lever and mark position of lever. Remove operating lever. Remove operating lever and return spring from brake cable. Pull parking brake cable from mounting flange.
- Remove upper caliper slide pin. Loosen lower caliper slide pin and tilt caliper rearward. Remove brake pad retaining pin with pin punch. Remove lower caliper slide pin completely and lift caliper off rotor. Remove anti-rattle spring and brake pads. Suspend caliper on wire hook to prevent damage to brake hose. Inspect all bushings and pins.
