REMOVING
1. Secure the vehicle on a support stand to elevate the
wheel; then remove the wheel.
! WARNING
Make sure the vehicle is solidly supported on the sup-
port stand to avoid injury.
! WARNING
Never let brake fluid contact the eyes. Damage to the
eyes will occur. Always wear appropriate protective
safety goggles and latex gloves when handling brake
fluid.
2. Drain the brake fluid from the caliper, hose, and mas-
ter cylinder through the bleed screw by pumping the
brake pedal.

CAUTION
Brake fluid is highly corrosive. Do not spill brake fluid
on any surface of the vehicle and do not reuse brake
fluid.
 NOTE: Whenever brake components are removed,
drain all fluid and replace with new DOT 4 brake
fluid from an unopened container. Brake fluid readily
absorbs moisture from the air significantly lowering
the boiling point. This increases the chance of vapor
lock reducing braking power and increasing stopping
distance.
3. Remove the Torx head plug from the caliper; then
remove the caliper.

4. Compress the caliper holder against the caliper
