Note: This Chapter covers the removal and installation of the caliper assembly as a separate unit. If the caliper has been disassembled, refer to the procedures below. Before starting, read the note at the beginning previous Chapter regarding the dangers of asbestos dust.
1. Place the car on a level surface using the handbrake and select reverse gear first (manual transmission) or "R" (automatic transmission). Block the front wheels. Loosen the wheel nuts, jack up the rear of the car, and support it with supports. Remove the wheel and release the handbrake completely.
2. Unscrew the handbrake cable mounting bolt from the caliper and disconnect the cable from the lever.
3. To minimize fluid loss, remove the master cylinder reservoir cap and use a flexible hose to drain the brake fluid.
4. Clean the area around the connection and unscrew the flexible hose connection bolt. Remove the two sealing gaskets.
5. Remove the two bolts securing the caliper mounting bracket to the steering knuckle connector plate and remove the caliper assembly. Clean all mounting areas.
6. Reinstallation - the procedure is the reverse of removal. Tighten all bolts and nuts to the specified Specifications moment. Fix the correct position of the flexible hoses before clamping. Also position the handbrake cable on the pin before clamping the bolt.
7. If necessary, bleed the system to remove air, then check the fluid level of the master cylinder reservoir, and top up if necessary. Tighten the handbrake to set the proper play.
