Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather necessary tools and parts.
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface, and secure it with wheel chocks.
  • Disconnect the battery for safety.

Tools Required:

  • Jack and jack stands
  • Socket set
  • Torque wrench
  • Dial gauge
  • Brake cleaner
2. Remove Wheel
  • Loosen the lug nuts slightly while the wheel is still on the ground.
  • Lift the vehicle using a jack and secure it with jack stands.
  • Completely remove the lug nuts and take off the wheel.
3. Inspect and Replace Brake Components

A. Inspect Brake Rotors

  • Use a dial gauge to measure rotor runout. If runout exceeds manufacturer specifications (typically 0.002-0.004 inches), the rotor may be warped.
  • If warped, remove the rotor using a socket set and replace with a new rotor.

B. Inspect Brake Pads

  • Remove the caliper by unscrewing the mounting bolts.
  • Slide the caliper off the rotor and support it without straining the brake line.
  • Inspect the brake pads for thickness. If less than 3 mm, replace the pads.

C. Reassemble

  • Install new brake pads and ensure they are properly seated.
  • Reinstall the caliper and torque the bolts to manufacturer specifications (typically 25-35 Nm).
  • Reinstall the rotor if replaced and secure it.
4. Reinstall Wheel
  • Place the wheel back onto the hub.
  • Hand-tighten the lug nuts, then lower the vehicle.
  • Torque the lug nuts to manufacturer specifications (typically 120 Nm).
5. Final Checks
  • Reconnect the battery.
  • Check brake fluid level and top off as necessary.
