Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather all necessary tools and parts.
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and securely raised using jack stands.
  • Disconnect the battery to ensure safety while working on the braking system.
2. Inspect and Replace Brake Pads
  • Remove the wheel to access the brake assembly.
  • Use a socket set to remove the caliper mounting bolts.
  • Slide the caliper off the rotor and support it using a bungee cord to avoid straining the brake line.
  • Remove the old brake pads from the caliper bracket.
  • Clean the caliper bracket and check for any debris or rust.
3. Install New Brake Pads
  • Apply brake grease to the backing of the new brake pads to reduce noise.
  • Install the new brake pads into the caliper bracket.
  • Reinstall the caliper over the new brake pads and tighten the mounting bolts to the manufacturer's torque specification (usually 25-30 Nm, but verify with the service manual).
  • Reinstall the wheel and lug nuts, tightening them to the manufacturer's specification.
4. Inspect and Replace Brake Rotors (if necessary)
  • If the rotors are scored or worn, remove them by unscrewing the retaining screws (if applicable) and sliding them off the hub.
  • Install new rotors, ensuring they are clean from any packaging oil or debris.
  • Reinstall the caliper and brake pads as previously described.
5. Final Checks
  • Reconnect the battery.
  • Pump the brake pedal several times to seat the brake pads against the rotors.
  • Check brake fluid levels and add fluid if necessary.
