For 1990-2009 cars

### Removal Procedure

Warning: Refer to Brake Dust Warning in the Preface section.

1. Inspect the fluid level in the brake master cylinder reservoir.
2. If the brake fluid level is midway between the maximum-full point and the minimum allowable level, no brake fluid needs to be removed from the reservoir before proceeding.
3. If the brake fluid level is higher than midway between the maximum-full point and the minimum allowable level, remove brake fluid to the midway point before proceeding.
4. Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle.
5. Remove the tire and wheel assembly. Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation.
6. Remove the brake caliper lower guide pin bolt (2).

Caution: Support the brake caliper with heavy mechanic wire, or equivalent, whenever it is separated from its mount and the hydraulic flexible brake hose is still connected. Failure to support the caliper in this manner will cause the flexible brake hose to bear the weight of the caliper, which may cause damage to the brake hose and in turn may cause a brake fluid leak.

7. Without disconnecting the hydraulic brake flexible hose, pivot the caliper (1) upward and secure the caliper with heavy mechanics wire, or equivalent.
8. Remove the brake pads (1) from the caliper mounting bracket
9. Remove the brake pad retainer springs (1) from the caliper bracket.
10. Remove the brake caliper guide pins (3) from the brake caliper mounting bracket (1).
11. Remove the brake caliper pin boots (2) from the brake caliper mounting bracket (1).

### Installation Procedure

1. Apply a thin coat of high temperature silicone lube to the brake caliper guide pin boots.
2. Install the brake caliper pin boots (2) into the brake caliper mounting bracket (1). Do not hammer the caliper pin boots into the bracket. Ensure that the caliper pin boots are fully seated in the bracket.
3. Apply a thin coat of high temperature silicone lube to the brake caliper guide pins.
4. Install the brake caliper guide pins (3) to the brake caliper mounting bracket (1).
5. Ensure the brake pad hardware mating surfaces are clean.
6. Install the brake pad retainers (1) to the brake caliper bracket.

Note: The wear sensor equipped disc brake pad must be mounted inboard of the rotor with the leading edge of the sensor facing the brake rotor during forward wheel rotation, or at the top of the pad when installed in vehicle position.

7. Install the brake pads (1) to the caliper bracket.
8. Remove the support, and rotate the brake caliper (1) into position over the disc brake pads and to the caliper mounting bracket.

Caution: Refer to Fastener Caution in the Preface section.

9. Install the lower brake caliper guide pin bolts (2) and tighten to xx N·m (xx lb ft).
10. Install the tire and wheel assembly. Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation.
11. Lower the vehicle.
12. With the engine OFF, gradually apply the brake pedal approximately 2/3 of its travel distance.
13. Slowly release the brake pedal.
14. Wait 15 seconds, then gradually apply the brake pedal approximatel 2/3 of its travel distance again until a firm brake pedal apply is obtained. This will properly seat the brake caliper pistons and brake pads.
15. Fill the master cylinder auxiliary reservoir to the proper level. Refer to Master Cylinder Reservoir Filling.
