NOTE:
Keep any grease off the brake disc/drum and brake pads.
- Raise the rear of the vehicle, and support it with safety stands in the proper locations (see LIFT AND SUPPORT POINTS ).
- Remove the rear wheel.
- Release the parking brake pedal fully.
- Remove the brake caliper bracket mounting bolts (A), then remove the caliper assembly (B) from the knuckle. To prevent damage to the caliper assembly or brake hose, use a short piece of wire to hang the caliper assembly from the undercarriage. Do not twist the brake hose excessively.NOTE: Make sure the washers position on reassembly, if they are removed (see step 4 on HUB BEARING UNIT REPLACEMENT ).
- Remove the brake disc/drum flathead screws (A).
- Remove the brake disc/drum (B) from the hub bearing unit.NOTE:
- It may be necessary to back-off the parking brake adjuster (C) to remove the brake disc/drum from the hub bearing unit (see step 6 on MAJOR ADJUSTMENT (TO BE DONE WHEN REPLACING BRAKE SHOES) AND AFTER BRAKE LINING SURFACE BREAK-IN) ).
- If the brake disc/drum has stuck to the hub bearing unit, thread two 8 x 1.25 mm bolts (D) into the brake disc/drum to push it away from the hub bearing unit. Turn each bolt 90 degrees at a time to prevent the brake disc/drum from binding.
- After installation, check the parking brake, and adjust it if necessary without power adjustable pedals (see PEDAL HEIGHT ON MODELS WITHOUT POWER ADJUSTABLE PEDALS ), with power adjustable pedals (see PEDAL HEIGHT ON MODEL WITH POWER ADJUSTABLE PEDALS ).
- Install the brake disc/drum in the reverse order of removal and note these items:
