Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather all necessary tools and parts.
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface and engage the parking brake.
  • Wear safety glasses and gloves for protection.
2. Lift the Vehicle
  • Use a jack to lift the rear of the vehicle and secure it with jack stands.
  • Remove the rear wheels using a socket set.
3. Inspect and Clean Components
  • Remove the brake caliper by unscrewing the caliper mounting bolts.
    • Tools Required: Socket set, ratchet
  • Carefully slide the caliper off the brake rotor and support it using a bungee cord or rope (do not let it dangle by the brake line).
  • Inspect the brake pads for wear; if they are worn below the manufacturer’s specifications, replace them.
  • Clean the brake rotor and caliper with brake cleaner to remove dust and debris.
4. Replace Brake Pads (if necessary)
  • If brake pads are worn, remove them from the caliper bracket.
  • Install new brake pads, ensuring proper alignment.
  • Apply brake grease to the back of the pads and any contact points.
5. Reassemble Brake Components
  • Reattach the brake caliper over the new pads and rotor.
  • Tighten the caliper mounting bolts to the manufacturer’s specified torque (check service manual for exact torque values).
  • Reinstall the wheel and tighten lug nuts in a crisscross pattern.
6. Lower the Vehicle and Test
  • Remove the jack stands and carefully lower the vehicle.
  • Pump the brake pedal a few times to seat the pads against the rotor before driving.
