When disc brake pad replacement is required the following sequence should generally be followed:
Remove approximately two thirds of the fluid in the master cylinder. Discard the fluid (Do not use suction tools used for steering reservoirs or any petroleum based product).
Raise the vehicle and remove the wheels for the axle being serviced. Compress the caliper piston(s) in their bore until they bottom, using the recommended procedure outlined in
the vehicle Workshop Manual.
TIP: Open the bleeder screw before compressing the caliper piston to keep brake fluid from being forced back into the HCU.
Remove the caliper retaining bolts orpins, and lift the caliper away from the rotor.
