2. Unbolt the brake caliper from the knuckle and slide it off the rotor. Support it without straining the brake hose.
3. Remove the old pads and clean all sliding surfaces on the caliper bracket.
4. Apply the included lubricant to the bracket slides and install the new hardware clips.
5. Seat the P50098 pads firmly into the bracket hardware.
6. Compress the caliper piston(s) fully using a caliper piston tool.
7. Slide the caliper back over the new pads and torque the caliper bolts to the manufacturer's specification.
8. Reinstall the wheels and torque lug nuts to spec.
9. Pump the brake pedal until firm before moving the vehicle.
10. Complete the bedding procedure before returning to normal use.
