Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather tools and parts needed for replacement.
  • Park the vehicle on a flat surface and engage the parking brake.
  • Use wheel chocks to prevent movement.
2. Remove Wheel
  • Tools Required: Socket set, lug wrench
  • Loosen the lug nuts while the vehicle is on the ground.
  • Raise the vehicle with a jack and secure it with jack stands.
  • Remove the lug nuts and take off the wheel.
3. Inspect and Replace Brake Pads
  • Tools Required: Torque wrench, brake cleaner, caliper tool
  • Inspect the brake pads for wear; if less than 3mm thickness, replace.
  • Remove the caliper bolts using a socket set and lift the caliper off the rotor.
  • If necessary, compress the caliper piston using the caliper tool to make room for new pads.
  • Remove old pads and install new pads, ensuring they are oriented correctly.
  • Reinstall the caliper and torque bolts to manufacturer specifications.
4. Inspect and Replace Brake Rotors (if necessary)
  • Check the rotors for any visible damage or wear.
  • If replacement is needed, remove the rotor by unscrewing the retaining screws (if applicable).
  • Install new rotors, ensuring they are properly seated.
  • Clean the rotor surface with brake cleaner before installation.
5. Reassemble
  • Reinstall the wheel and hand-tighten the lug nuts.
  • Lower the vehicle and torque the lug nuts to the specified value.
  • Remove wheel chocks and perform a final inspection.
