Step
1. Clean the remaining disc brake system components to
remove any traces of the contaminant.
CAUTION
!
Support the brake caliper with heavy mechanic
wire, or equivalent, whenever it is separated from
its mount and the hydraulic flexible brake hose is
still connected. Failure to support the caliper in
this manner will cause the flexible brake hose to
bear the weight of the caliper, which may cause
damage to the brake hose and in turn may cause a
brake fluid leak.
NOTE
Do NOT disconnect the hydraulic brake flex hoses
from the calipers.
2. Remove the front and/or rear disc brake calipers, as
appropriate, from the mounting brackets and support the
11
calipers. Refer to "Front Brake Caliper Replacement: "
and/or "Rear Brake Caliper Replacement".

for the following conditions:
Refer to "Front Disc Brake Mounting and Hardware
Inspection: " and/or "Rear Disc Brake Mounting and
