Removal Procedure

Caution

To avoid any vehicle damage, serious personal injury or death when major components are removed from the vehicle and the vehicle is supported by a hoist, support the vehicle with jack stands at the opposite end from which the components are being removed.

1. Raise the vehicle on hoist.
2. Remove the wheel and tire assembly.
3. Disconnect the brake hose from the caliper or wheel cylinder. Plug the opening in the caliper or wheel cylinder to avoid fluid loss and contamination.
