Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather necessary tools and parts.
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is off.
  • Disconnect the battery for safety.
2. Inspect and Replace Brake Rotors
  1. Remove Wheel

    • Use a jack to lift the vehicle and secure it with jack stands.
    • Remove the lug nuts with a socket set and take off the wheel.
  2. Remove Caliper

    • Use a socket wrench to remove the caliper mounting bolts.
    • Carefully slide the caliper off the rotor and support it using a hanger or rope (do not allow it to dangle by the brake line).
  3. Remove Rotor

    • If applicable, remove any retaining screws securing the rotor.
    • Slide the rotor off the hub. If stuck, gently tap it with a rubber mallet.
  4. Install New Rotor

    • Clean the hub surface to remove any rust or debris.
    • Align the new rotor and secure it with retaining screws (if applicable).
3. Replace Brake Pads
  1. Remove Old Brake Pads

    • Remove the old brake pads from the caliper bracket.
    • Compress the caliper piston using a brake caliper tool.
  2. Install New Brake Pads

    • Apply brake grease to the back of the new pads.
    • Place the new pads in the caliper bracket.
4. Reassemble Components
  1. Reattach Caliper

    • Slide the caliper back over the new pads and rotor.
    • Tighten the caliper mounting bolts to the manufacturer's specified torque.
  2. Reinstall Wheel

    • Place the wheel back onto the hub.
    • Hand-tighten the lug nuts before lowering the vehicle.
5. Final Adjustments
  • Lower the vehicle and torque the lug nuts to the manufacturer's specifications.
  • Reconnect the battery.
