Note

For detailed brake specifications, see Brakes.

Note

If only a single rotor needs replacing (due to damage), the corresponding axle rotor must be measured for runout and thickness. See Brake Rotor - Rear - LH (Measure Runout).

Warning

The video(s) included in this procedure are meant as an overview for supplemental purposes only. Follow all of the steps listed in the procedure to avoid damage to components and/or personal injury.

Torque Specifications

http://service.tesla.com/user/documents Test

Table 1. Torque Specifications: Brake Rotors - Rear - LH
Description	Torque Value	Recommended Tools	Reuse/Replace	Notes
LH rear caliper to the LH rear knuckle	83 Nm (61.2 lbs-ft)	External Torx E18 Ratchet/torque wrench	Replace
Brake rotor to the hub	5 Nm (3.7 lbs-ft)	10 mm socket 2 in extension Ratchet/torque wrench	Reuse

Remove

Raise the vehicle and remove the LH rear wheel. See Wheel Assembly (Remove and Install).
Use Toolbox to place the vehicle into EPB Service Mode. See Release Parking Brake Using Toolbox.
Remove and discard the bolts that attach the LH rear caliper to the LH rear knuckle, remove the caliper from the knuckle, and allow the caliper to hang from an S-hook.
83 Nm (61.2 lbs-ft)
Tip: Use of the following tool(s) is recommended:
- External Torx E18
- Ratchet/torque wrench
Use the caliper spreader tool to push the caliper piston to the fully open position.

Note
This allows for more clearance when new brake pads are installed.

Note
Make sure the upper cut of the piston is placed in the middle of the two tabs.
Remove the bolt that attaches the brake rotor to the hub, and then remove the brake rotor from the hub.
5 Nm (3.7 lbs-ft)
Note
Early production vehicles may not be equipped with a bolt that attaches the brake rotor to the hub.
Tip: Use of the following tool(s) is recommended:
- 10 mm socket
- 2 in extension
- Ratchet/torque wrench

Install

Installation procedure is the reverse of removal, except for the following:

Replace all patchbolts.

CAUTION
Make sure that the brake hose can bend forward and does not make contact with the wheel liner when the vehicle is lowered.
Put the vehicle into Park to exit EPB Service Mode and engage the parking prake.
Press the brake pedal at least 5 times to seat the pads against the rotor.

Warning
Always check that the brake pads are seated correctly before driving the vehicle.
Burnish the brake pads. See Brake Pads - Burnishing.

Note
During vehicle driving, make sure that proper brake pedal feel and performance is achieved.

Note
Add correction code 33013000 to the Service Visit.
