CAUTION: Refer to Brake Dust Caution in Cautions and Notices. 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, then no brake fluid needs to be removed from the reservoir before proceeding. If the brake fluid level is higher than midway between the maximum-full point and the minimum allowable level, then remove brake fluid to the midway point before proceeding. 3. Raise and suitably support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle in General Information. 4. Remove the rear tire and the wheel assembly. Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation in Tires and Wheels. 5. Install a hand tightened lug nut to retain the rotor to the hub. 6. Compress the caliper piston enough for clearance. Use a C-clamp (3). NOTE: NOTE: Use care to avoid damaging pin boot when rotating caliper. Support the brake caliper with heavy mechanic’s 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.
