Solution
1. Preparation
  • Tools Required: Jack and jack stands, lug wrench, socket set, brake cleaner, torque wrench
  • Safety Warnings: Ensure the vehicle is on a flat surface and securely elevated before removing any wheels.
2. Remove Wheel
  1. Loosen lug nuts on the affected wheel with a lug wrench.
  2. Raise the vehicle using a jack and secure it with jack stands.
  3. Remove lug nuts and take off the wheel to access the brake components.
3. Inspect Brake Pads and Rotors
  1. Visually inspect the brake pads for thickness; replace if less than 3mm.
  2. Check the rotors for signs of scoring or warping; replace if damaged.
  3. Clean the brake pads and rotors with brake cleaner to remove dust and debris.
4. Replace Brake Pads (if necessary)
  1. Remove the caliper bolts using a socket set and carefully slide the caliper off the rotor.
  2. Remove old brake pads from the caliper bracket.
  3. Apply brake grease to the back of the new brake pads and any contact points.
  4. Install the new brake pads in the caliper bracket.
  5. Reinstall the caliper over the new pads and torque the caliper bolts to manufacturer specifications.
5. Reassemble and Test
  1. Reinstall the wheel and hand-tighten lug nuts.
  2. Lower the vehicle and fully tighten the lug nuts in a crisscross pattern to the manufacturer’s torque specifications.
  3. Pump the brake pedal a few times to ensure proper brake pad seating.
