Rear Brake Disc Replacement

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Honda Pilot, 2010 Honda Pilot, and 2009 Honda Pilot. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Keep any grease off the brake disc/drum and brake pads.
  1. Raise and support vehicle it with safety stands in the proper locations (see LIFT AND SUPPORT POINTS ).
  2. Remove the rear wheel.
  3. Release the parking brake pedal fully.
  4. Remove the brake caliper bracket mounting bolts (A), and remove the caliper assembly (B) from the knuckle. To prevent damage to the caliper assembly or brake hose, use a short piece of wire to hang the caliper assembly from the undercarriage. Do not twist the brake hose excessively.
    NOTE: Make sure the plates (C) are in position on reassembly, if they are removed (see KNUCKLE/HUB BEARING UNIT REPLACEMENT ).

  6. Remove the brake disc/drum (B) from the hub bearing unit.
    NOTE:
    • Remove the access plug (C), then if necessary, turn the adjuster nut (D) with a flat-tip screwdriver until the shoes become loose.
    • If the brake disc/drum is stuck to the hub bearing unit, thread two 8 x 1.25 mm bolts (E) into the brake disc/drum to push it away from the hub bearing unit. Turn each bolt 90 degrees at a time to prevent the brake disc/drum from binding.
  7. Install the brake disc/drum in the reverse order of removal, and note these items:
    • Before installing the brake disc/drum, clean the mating surfaces between the hub bearing unit and the inside of the brake disc/drum.
    • Adjust the parking brake (see PARKING BRAKE INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT  ).
  8. Inspect the brake disc runout (see REAR BRAKE DISC INSPECTION  ), and the thickness and parallelism (see Thickness and Parallelism  .
  9. Clean the mating surfaces between the brake disc/drum and the inside of the wheel, then install the rear wheel.
