REMOVAL
REMOVAL - FRONT CALIPER
(1) Using a brake pedal holding tool, depress brake
pedal past its first 1 inch of travel and secure in this
position. This will isolate the master cylinder reser-
voir from the brake hydraulic system, not allowing
the brake fluid to drain out of the reservoir.
(2) Raise vehicle on jackstands or centered on a
hoist. See Hoisting in Lubrication and Maintenance.
(3) Remove front wheel and tire assembly from
vehicle.
(4) Remove the banjo bolt connecting the brake
flex hose to the caliper. There will be two washers
(one on each side of the flex hose fitting) that will
come off at the same time.
NOTE: Note the positioning of the two rail shims
between the knuckle's machined abutments and the
brake shoes.
(5) Remove the two caliper guide pin bolts (Fig.
24).
(6) Remove caliper
knuckle. Proceed by first rotating top of caliper away
from steering knuckle, then lifting caliper off bottom
machined abutment on steering knuckle (Fig. 25).
Take care not to lose the two rail shims.
