2. Remove the wheel from the hub, leaving the brake
exposed.
3. Disconnect the brake actuation system. Check that the
hydraulic system has zero pressure and that the hub and
rotor rotates freely.
4. Remove the brake pad retaining bolt.
5. Remove the old pads from the caliper assembly. Save the
brake pad retaining hardware for reinstalling the new pads
onto the caliper.

CAUTION
POTENTIAL ASBESTOS DUST HAZARD!
Some older brake linings may contain asbestos dust,
which has been linked to serious or fatal illnesses.
Certain precautions need to be taken when servicing
brakes:
1.
Avoid creating or breathing dust.
2. Avoid machining, filing or grinding the brake linings.
3. Do not use compressed air or dry brushing for
cleaning (dust can be removed with a damp brush).
Installing the new brake pads
1. First inspect the brake assembly for grooves, flaking,
cracks, heat checking, thickness variation, insufficient rotor
thickness, and look to see that the mounting hardware is
straight. Replace any component as needed (or desired)
per manufacturer recommendations.
2. Press the caliper pistons into the calipers until enough
clearance is available to fit the new pads between the
pistons and the rotor.
Note: Use two lug nuts to secure rotor
against the hub face when reassembling the new pads.
After the pads are assembled remove the lug nuts.
3. Install the new brake pads by sliding them in one at a time
between the caliper pistons and the rotor. The pads are the
same for the inner and outer side of the rotor. Make sure
the brake lining side of the pad faces the rotor, and the
steel backing faces the caliper pistons.
