Ensure vehicle is on level ground and properly secured from rolling, safely and correctly jack and remove wheels, use flat head to carefully open caliper by applying pressure between caliper and caliper bracket, disconnect and remove the brake pad wear sensor, remove caliper bolt covers, use 7mm allen to loosen both caliper bolts, set aside and secure caliper, use 6mm allen to remove brake rotor securing bolt, tilt rotor towards front and away from vehicle, check brake fluid level before using pliers to open caliper, install reverse order. Pump brakes and check fluid before attempting to drive, check manufacture brake bedding procedures.
