1. Jack up the car and place it on supports. Remove the corresponding wheel.
2. Remove the locking plate from the front suspension strut and disconnect the brake hose from the strut (see Chapter Brake system).
3. Remove the brake caliper from the steering knuckle and secure it to the side so that it does not interfere with the work (see Chapter Brake system).
Note: Do not allow the brake hose to be loaded. Do not press the brake pedal with the caliper removed to prevent the piston from coming out of the brake cylinder.
