Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather tools and parts, ensuring you have everything before starting.
  • Disconnect the battery to ensure safety while working on the braking system.
2. Remove Wheel
  • Use a jack to lift the vehicle and secure it with jack stands.
  • Remove the wheel nuts using a socket set.
  • Take off the wheel to access the brake components.
3. Inspect and Replace Brake Rotors
  • Inspect Rotors: Use a dial indicator to measure rotor runout. If warping is detected, replacement is necessary.
  • Remove Caliper: Unscrew the caliper mounting bolts and slide the caliper off the rotor. Support it with a hanger to avoid stress on the brake line.
  • Remove Rotor: If necessary, remove the retaining screws (if equipped) and slide the rotor off the hub.
  • Install New Rotor: Place the new rotor on the hub and secure it with screws if applicable.
4. Replace Brake Pads
  • Remove Old Pads: Slide the old brake pads out of the caliper bracket.
  • Install New Pads: Insert new brake pads into the caliper bracket, ensuring they are properly seated.
  • Reattach Caliper: Slide the caliper back onto the new pads and secure it with mounting bolts. Torque to manufacturer specifications.
5. Reassemble and Test
  • Reinstall the wheel and hand-tighten the nuts.
  • Lower the vehicle and torque the wheel nuts to the specified value.
  • Reconnect the battery.
  • Conduct a test drive to ensure the issue is resolved.
