Removal
- Set vehicle on a lift.
- Loosen wheel nuts.
- Jack-up vehicle and remove front wheel.
- Remove lock pin.
- Raise caliper body.
- Remove pad. If brake pad is difficult to remove, proceed as follows: Remove caliper body and fasten it provisionally to coil spring. Remove support. Place support in a vise between wooden blocks. (Scheme 5) Attach a rod of less than 0.47" (12 mm) diameter to the brake pad tongues that hold them in the support, and strike rod with a hammer to drive brake pad out of place. (Scheme 6) CAUTION: Always replace pads for both left and right wheels at the same time. Also replace pad clips if they are twisted or worn. A wear indicator is provided on the inner disc brake pad. If the pad wears down to such an extent that the end of the wear indicator contacts the disc rotor, a squeaking sound is produced as the wheel rotates. If this sound is heard, replace the pad. Replace the pad if there is oil or grease on it.
- Check pad thickness. See «DISC BRAKE SPECIFICATIONS»(/subaru/impreza-wrx/gdgg-2002-2005/remont/mechanical-hydraulic/#disc-drum__disc-brake-specifications).
