Removal
1. Remove the wheel and tire.
2. Check the brake fluid level in the brake fluid reservoir.
- If required, remove fluid until the brake master cylinder reservoir is half full.
3. Remove the brake caliper bolts.

CAUTION: Do not allow the caliper to hang from the brake hose or damage to the hose may occur. CAUTION: Care must be taken when servicing rear brake components without disconnecting the parking brake cable from the brake caliper lever. Carefully position the caliper aside using a suitable support or damage to the parking brake cable end fittings may occur. Using hand force and a rocking motion, separate the brake caliper from the anchor plate. Position the brake caliper aside. ...
