DIY - Complete Brake Rebuild F&R

B&W_Evader

Once you've removed the wheel, you will see the rotor and the caliper. It's time to remove the pads. You do this by removing the clips that hold the pins in and then slide them out. To get the calipers to retract you will need to pry them open and giving the brake fluid a place to go. I use a 3/8 vinyl tube to direct the fluid into a catch cup. Once the calipers have been expanded, the pads will slip right out.

Now you want to remove the calipers. Remove the 2 mounting bolts, you'll need a breaker bar or hammer. Once removed, the caliper is only held by the brake lines. Be sure not to yank on or kink your brake lines. That's a sure way of asking for trouble. You can see on these what they mean when they say XP8s have elevated levels of dust. You can also see the dust boot is torn with brake dust caked everywhere. I used a screwdriver to scrape of the majority of crud and then used this wheel cleaner and a tooth brush to clean up the area.
