Installation Guide

1. Lift the vehicle and secure it with jack stands.
2. Remove the wheel to access the brake assembly.
3. Detach the caliper bracket or slide the caliper away from the rotor.
4. Extract the old brake pads, noting their orientation.
5. Place the new TRW GDB2043 Brake Pads into the caliper housing, ensuring proper alignment.
