Step 12

Paint the back of the rotor (only where it contacts the hub) with anti sieze and put it back on the hub. Replace that retention screw now.

Step 13

Reattatch the Hub carrier

Step 14

You need to still press the caliper piston in, grab a C clamp or use the rear caliper tool and do it now. You can also do it like they do it at the shop. Grab a giant screw driver and simply pry it back as illustrated below.

Step 15

Attatch new lead to the Brake pad sensor. If they do not match up simply cut the wires and mate them together. Using the old lead so as not to permanently screw up the wires. You will only be using the wire on the drivers side so when you do the passenger side simply cut off the entire sensor wire on the brake pad.
