1.Remove wheel and tire assemble.
2.Remove caliper.
3.Remove retainers securing rotor to hub studs.
4.Remove rotor from hub.
5.If rotor shield requires service, remove front hub and bearing assembly.

To install:

1.If new rotor is being installed, remove protective coating from rotor surfaces with carburetor cleaner.
2.Install rotor on hub.
3.Install caliper.
4.Install wheel and tire assembly.




NOTE
Front rotors and hub/bearings are matched mounted for minimum lateral run-out. Before removing the rotor, mark the rotor and hub/bearing to maintain original orientation.

1.Raise and support the vehicle.
2.Remove wheel and tire assembly.
3.Remove the caliper adapter mounting bolts and remove the caliper adapter from the steering knuckle.
4.Secure caliper anchor assembly to nearby suspension part with a wire. Do not allow brake hose to support caliper weight.
5.Remove and discard the O-ring securing the disc brake rotor on the hub.
6.Remove the disc brake rotor from hub/bearing.
