Removal (Rear)
- Raise and support the vehicle.
- Remove the wheel and tire assembly.
- Remove rear wheel brake hose bolt. Remove the copper washers and plug the brake hose.
- Remove the brake caliper bolts. See Figure . Lift the rear disc brake caliper off the rear disc brake caliper anchor plate.
- Inspect the rear disc brake caliper for leaks. If leaks are found, disassembly is required.
CAUTION:
Do not remove the guide pins or guide pin boots unless a problem is suspected. The guide pins are meant to be sealed for life and are not repairable. Use silicone brake caliper grease and dielectric compound for re-lubing the caliper slide pins. Other greases can swell the guide pin boots, resulting in contamination and accelerated corrosion or wear of the caliper slide pin mechanism.
