To work on models from 2008 onward, start by taking off the safety lid of the brake fluid reservoir. Before you do anything, take off the lug nuts, lift the vehicle, and hold it steady with jackstands. If the
Brake Disc needs resurfacing, take it and all attached components off. To replace front pads, push the sliding piston back while holding a C-clamp on top, being careful not to pour extra cylinder fluid. Check the figures for pad replacement instructions, start by fixing the back pad following the exact same steps. Pour brake system cleaning fluid over the assembly, then unscrew the caliper mounting bolts while holding the caliper pins. Attach the caliper to a hanger to keep it out of your way. Before putting on new brake pads, check and change pad retainer clips, and lubricate them with high-temp grease while you take off the old inner and outer pads with the shims. Fit the new pads inside and outside, making sure they stay hooked to the retention clips. Make sure to check the pin dust boots on the caliper for wear before you put it in place. Put the piston all the way down, making sure it settles against the tab on the inner brake pad before placing the caliper and tightening the mounting screws. Close by putting the wheels back on and tightening the lug nuts. Afterwards, drop the car down and finish cuffing it with the right lugs. Press and release the brake foot pedal several times to make sure the brakes grip correctly, then look at the brake fluid level and add more if needed. Test the brakes in an empty area before you go.
