Disc Brake Splash Shield Replacement- Front

Removal Procedure





1. Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to Vehicle Lifting.
2. Remove the tire and wheel assembly.

Notice: Support the brake caliper with heavy mechanic's wire, or equivalent, whenever it is separated from it's mount and the hydraulic flexible brake hose is still connected. Failure to support the caliper in this manner will cause the flexible brake hose to bear the weight of the caliper, which may cause damage to the brake hose and in turn may cause a brake fluid leak.

3. Remove the hub and bearing assembly.
4. Remove the splash shield.

Installation Procedure





1. Install the splash shield.
2. Install the hub and bearing assembly.
3. Install the tire and wheel assembly.
4. Lower the vehicle.
5. With the engine OFF, gradually apply the brake pedal to approximately 2/3 of its travel distance.
6. Slowly release the brake pedal.
7. Wait 15 seconds, then repeat steps 5-6 until a firm brake pedal is obtained. This will properly seat the brake caliper pistons and brake pads.
