Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather necessary tools and parts.
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface and engage the parking brake.
  • Wear safety gloves and goggles.
2. Remove Wheel
  • Loosen the lug nuts using a socket wrench.
  • Lift the vehicle using a jack and secure it with jack stands.
  • Remove the lug nuts and take off the rear wheel.
3. Inspect Brake Components
  • Carefully remove the brake caliper by removing the mounting bolts.
  • Support the caliper with a bungee cord or similar to avoid stress on the brake line.
  • Remove the brake pads from the caliper bracket.
  • Inspect the pads for thickness; replace if below 3mm.
  • Check the brake rotor for wear; if warped or scored, it should be resurfaced or replaced.
4. Clean and Lubricate
  • Clean the brake caliper, bracket, and rotor using brake cleaner.
  • Apply anti-squeal lubricant to the back of the brake pads.
  • Apply a thin layer of high-temperature grease to the caliper slide pins.
5. Reassembly
  • Reinstall the brake pads into the caliper bracket.
  • Reattach the brake caliper over the pads and tighten the mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications (usually around 25-35 ft-lbs).
  • Reinstall the wheel and hand-tighten the lug nuts.
6. Lower Vehicle and Final Checks
  • Lower the vehicle from the jack stands.
  • Tighten the lug nuts to the specified torque (usually 80-100 ft-lbs).
  • Pump the brake pedal several times to ensure proper caliper operation.
