Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather necessary tools and parts.
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface and the parking brake is engaged.
  • Wear safety glasses and gloves.
2. Remove Wheel
  • Loosen the lug nuts using a socket set.
  • Lift the vehicle with a jack and secure with jack stands.
  • Remove the lug nuts completely and take off the wheel.
3. Inspect and Replace Brake Components
  • Brake Pads:

    • Remove the caliper bolts using a socket wrench.
    • Slide the caliper off the rotor and hang it using a wire or bungee cord (do not let it dangle by the brake line).
    • Remove the old brake pads and inspect for wear; replace if necessary.
    • Install new brake pads, ensuring they are seated correctly.
  • Brake Rotors:

    • If warped, remove the old rotor by unscrewing any retaining screws, if present.
    • Clean the hub surface with a wire brush.
    • Install new rotors, ensuring they are secured properly.
4. Reassemble Components
  • Reattach the caliper over the new pads.
  • Torque the caliper bolts to the manufacturer’s specifications (typically 25-40 ft-lbs, check the service manual).
  • Reinstall the wheel and hand-tighten the lug nuts.
5. Lower Vehicle and Finalize
  • Lower the vehicle off the jack stands.
  • Torque the lug nuts in a star pattern to the manufacturer’s specifications (usually around 80-100 ft-lbs).
  • Test the brake pedal for firmness before driving.
