Brake pads replacing

CAUTION—

To prevent brake fluid overflow when caliper pistons are pushed back, siphon some fluid out of brake master cylinder reservoir.

This procedure is applicable to both front and rear brake pads.

— Raise car and remove wheels.

Make sure the car is firmly supported on jack stands designed for the purpose. Place the jack stands beneath a structural chassis point. Do not place jack stands under suspension parts.

^ Front brakes: Working in wheel housing, disconnect electrical connector (A) for brake pad wear sensor and remove harness from clip on strut body.
