Removal - Front Disc Brake Caliper (Continental Teves Brakes)






REMOVAL - FRONT DISC BRAKE CALIPER (CONTINENTAL TEVES BRAKES)

1. Depress the brake pedal past its first inch of travel and hold it in this position using a brake pedal depressor (holding) tool. This is done to isolate the master cylinder from the brake hydraulic system disallowing the brake fluid to completely drain out of the brake fluid reservoir.
2. Raise the vehicle.
3. Remove front wheel and tire assembly.
4. Remove the banjo bolt connecting the brake hose to the brake caliper. There are two washers (one on each side of the brake hose fitting) that will come off with the banjo bolt. Discard these washers.
5. Remove the 2 caliper guide pin bolts.
6. Remove the brake caliper from the adapter.
