Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather tools and parts needed.
  • Park the vehicle on a level surface and engage the parking brake.
  • Wear safety gloves and goggles.
2. Remove Wheel
  • Use a jack to lift the vehicle and secure it with jack stands.
  • Remove the wheel using a socket set.
3. Inspect Brake Components
  • Brake Pads:

    • Remove the brake caliper by loosening the caliper bolts with a socket wrench.
    • Carefully slide the caliper off the brake rotor.
    • Inspect the brake pads for wear; replace if thickness is below 3mm.
  • Brake Rotors:

    • Check the brake rotor surface for grooves or uneven wear.
    • If damaged, replace the rotors.
4. Clean and Lubricate
  • Clean the brake pads and caliper mounting points using brake cleaner.
  • Apply anti-squeal lubricant to the back of the brake pads and caliper contact points.
5. Reassemble Components
  • Reinstall the brake caliper and torque bolts to manufacturer specifications (typically around 30-40 Nm).
  • Reattach the wheel and lower the vehicle from jack stands.
