Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather all necessary tools and parts.
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface and the parking brake is engaged.
2. Lift the Vehicle
  • Use a hydraulic jack to lift the front of the vehicle and secure it with jack stands.
  • Remove the front wheels using a socket set.
3. Inspect and Replace Brake Rotors
  • Inspect: Use a dial indicator to measure rotor runout. Replace if warped beyond manufacturer specifications.
  • Remove: Unbolt the brake caliper using a socket, and hang it with a bungee cord (do not let it dangle).
  • Remove Rotor: Unscrew the rotor retaining screws if present, then slide off the rotor.
  • Install: Place the new or resurfaced rotor onto the hub and secure with screws.
4. Replace Brake Pads
  • Remove Pads: Slide out the old brake pads from the caliper bracket.
  • Install New Pads: Apply brake grease to the backing of the new pads and install them into the bracket.
  • Reattach Caliper: Position the caliper over the new pads and secure it with the caliper bolts (torque to manufacturer specifications).
5. Reassemble and Test
  • Reinstall the front wheels and lower the vehicle.
  • Tighten the lug nuts to the specified torque.
  • Perform a test drive to ensure proper brake function.
