1.Raise and support the vehicle. Remove rear wheel and tire assembly from vehicle. 2.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 washers. 3.Remove the rear disc brake caliper-to-adapter guide pin bolts. Rotate the front of the caliper up from the adapter. Pull the rear of the caliper and the outboard brake pad anti-rattle clip out from under the rear abutment on the adapter. 4.If the brake rotor needs to be removed 5.Remove the outboard brake pad by pushing the pad toward the piston, disengaging the two metal protrusions on the pad back, then sliding the brake pads off the caliper. 6.Remove the inboard brake pad is by pulling it out of the caliper piston until the retaining clip is free of the piston.
