Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather tools and materials needed.
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the parking brake is engaged.
  • Wear safety goggles and gloves.

Tools Required:

  • Jack and jack stands
  • Lug wrench
  • Torque wrench
  • Brake cleaner
  • C-clamp or brake caliper tool
2. Raise Vehicle
  • Use the jack to lift the vehicle and secure it with jack stands.
  • Remove the wheel using a lug wrench.
3. Remove Brake Caliper
  • Locate the caliper bolts and remove them using the appropriate socket.
  • Carefully slide the caliper off the brake rotor.
  • Support the caliper using a bungee cord or similar tool to avoid stressing the brake line.
4. Inspect and Replace Brake Pads
  • Check the thickness of the brake pads; if less than 3 mm, replace them.
  • If necessary, remove the old brake pads from the caliper bracket.
  • Clean the caliper bracket with brake cleaner.
  • Install new brake pads, ensuring proper orientation and fit.
5. Inspect and Resurface Rotors
  • Check the rotor surface for any grooves or damage. If scored, either resurface or replace the rotor.
  • Clean the rotor with brake cleaner before reinstallation.
6. Reassemble Braking System
  • Reattach the brake caliper over the new pads.
  • Tighten caliper bolts to the manufacturer’s specified torque.
  • Reinstall the wheel and lower the vehicle to the ground.
7. Final Checks
  • Pump the brake pedal to seat the new pads.
  • Test the brakes in a safe area to ensure everything is functioning properly.
