Here are the directions specific to your vehicle. The attached pictures correlate with the directions.

FRONT REPLACEMENT
1. REMOVE FRONT WHEEL
Remove the wheel and temporarily fasten the disc with the hub nuts.

2. INSPECT PAD LINING THICKNESS
Check the pad thickness through the caliper inspection hole and replace the pads if they are not within the specification.
Minimum thickness: 1.0 mm (0.039 inch)

3. LIFT UP CALIPER
a. Remove the bottom side installation bolt.
b. Lift up the caliper and suspend it securely.

HINT: Do not disconnect the flexible hose from the caliper.

4. REMOVE 2 BRAKE PADS
5. REMOVE 4 ANTI-SQUEAL SHIMS
6. REMOVE 2 PAD SUPPORT PLATES
7. REMOVE PAD WEAR INDICATOR PLATE

NOTICE: The support plates can be used again provided that they have sufficient rebound, no deformation, cracks or wear, and have had all rust, dirt and foreign particles cleaned off.

8. CHECK DISC THICKNESS AND RUNOUT
9. INSTALL PAD SUPPORT PLATES
Install the 2 pad support plates.

10. INSTALL NEW PADS

NOTICE: When replacing worn pads, the anti-squeal shims must be replaced together with the pads.

a. Install a pad wear indicator plate on the inner pad.
b. Apply disc brake grease to both sides of the inner anti-squeal shims.
c. Install the anti-squeal shims to each pad.
d. Install inner pad with pad wear indicator plate facing upward.
e. Install outer pad.

NOTICE: Do not allow oil or grease to get on the rubbing face.

11. INSTALL CALIPER
a. Draw out a small amount of brake fluid from the reservoir.
b. Press in the piston with a hammer handle or an equivalent.

HINT: If the piston is difficult to push in, loosen the bleeder plug and push in the piston while letting some brake fluid escape.

c. Install the caliper.
d. Install the installation bolt.
Torque: 34 Nm (350 kgf-cm, 25 ft. lbs.)
12. INSTALL FRONT WHEEL
13. CHECK THAT FLUID LEVEL IS AT MAX LINE
