Guide to Removing Brake Discs

Model: Dodge Nitro MK 1 - Years 2006-2011
Part: Brake rotors

The following guide shows how to replace the brake discs without needing to take the car to a mechanic. First, remove the wheel and lift the car with a jack. You can then remove the brake pads by taking off the retaining clip and removing the plastic caps located behind the caliper. Unscrew the bolts and leverage to remove the caliper for easier access. At this point, you can remove the calipers; the outer one is without a clip and easier to take off, while the inner one is fitted into the piston and is removed by sliding it out perpendicularly.
