How to Diagnose or Replace

1. Loosen lug nuts, lift the car safely on jack stands, then remove the wheel.
2. For rear brakes, activate electronic parking brake service mode using a compatible scan tool first.
3. Unbolt the caliper guide pins, or the monobloc caliper mounting bolts on Brembo cars.
4. Slide out the old pads, then compress the piston with a proper tool.
5. Inspect rotor thickness against the minimum stamped on the hat, replacing if below spec.
6. Install new pads with fresh hardware, remount the caliper, and torque all fasteners to spec.
7. Exit service mode, pump the pedal firm, then bed the pads with gentle stops.

Install Tips - Where Most DIYers Go Wrong

• Always put the electronic parking brake in service mode with a scan tool before any rear caliper work.
• Replace anti-rattle clips and shims each job, and lubricate slide pins with silicone brake grease.
• Torque lugs to 80-94 lb-ft in a star pattern, then re-check after about 50 miles.
