(2) Remove tire and wheel assembly.
NOTE: In some cases, it may be necessary to
retract caliper piston in its bore a small amount in
order to provide sufficient clearance between shoes
and rotor to easily remove caliper from knuckle.
This can usually be accomplished before guide pin
bolts are removed, by grasping rear of caliper and
pulling outward working with guide pins, thus
retracting piston. Never push on piston directly as
it may get damaged.
(3) Remove two caliper guide pin bolts (Fig. 66).
(4) Remove caliper assembly from brake adapter
by first rotating bottom of caliper away from rotor,
then lifting caliper (with shoes) away from upper
adapter abutment (Fig. 67).
(5) To prevent weight of caliper from overextend-
ing and damaging brake hose while caliper is off
mount, hang brake caliper from vehicle using wire or
cord (Fig. 68).
(6) Remove any clips retaining brake rotor to
wheel mounting studs (Fig. 69).
(7) Remove brake rotor from hub (Fig. 69).

(1) Clean hub face to remove any dirt or corrosion
where rotor mounts.
(2) Install brake rotor over studs on hub and bear-
ing (Fig. 65).
(3) Install disc brake caliper and adapter assembly
over brake rotor (Fig. 64).
(4) Install mounting bolts securing caliper adapter
to steering knuckle (Fig. 64). Tighten bolts to 169
N·m (125 ft. lbs.) torque.
(5) Install tire and wheel assembly (Refer to 22 -
TIRES/WHEELS - INSTALLATION). Tighten wheel
mounting nuts to a torque of 135 N·m (100 ft. lbs.).
(6) Lower vehicle.
