Loosen the wheel nuts and lift the vehicle securely. Remove the bolts and take off the wheel.

Unscrew the two retaining screws of the caliper and remove it. Clean the entire brake assembly with a cleaner and a brush, then dry it with compressed air. Lubricate the mounting pins and install the new caliper, ensuring it operates correctly. Install the new brake pads, paying attention to the direction of rotation and installing the one with contacts facing inward.

Ensure the pads fit perfectly against the rotor. Double-check the brake fluid level.
