Change to removing the 2 brake pads (2, 3) from the caliper bracket, next go and remove the 2 Brake Pad retainers and the last component is to go ahead and remove the 2 Brake Pad insulators. Check the brake pads, and make sure the minimum thickness of the pad and plate is 7.5 mm (0.295 inch), if it's less, then change the pads. For installation, mount the 2 Brake Pad insulators to the brake pads (3, 4) and install the 2 Brake Pad retainers , with the Brake Pad having the wear indicator to be mounted as the inner pad. Mount the 2 brake pads to the caliper bracket with sure that the boots are installed into the grooves.
