First use the "Jacking the Car Up"
pictorial How To to get this side of
the car up. |
Next of course take the wheel off.
|
Put one of the lug nuts back
on to secure the rotor. |
Using a 13/16 in socket
(hard to read in picture) on the
rotor fasteners.
|
Remove the two fasteners holding
the caliper on.
|
Turn the caliper upside down and
lay it on the top of the rotor between
the rotor and the steering knuckle.
Then remove the j-clip. |
Pull the pin out.
|
Note direction and placement of
pin.
|
Pry the outer pad off first.
|
Note lots of pad left but I wanted
to try a different compound.
|
Now pry the inner pad off being
very careful not to upset the cylinder.
|
With the pad off now turn the
pad around so that........
|
The face of the old pad contacts

so you can use the clamp shown
above to slooooowwwwwlllyyy
compress the two cylinders in and
not have to worry about prying the
pad off later. |
Remove the reservoir cap and keep
an eye on the reservoir for overflow
as you compress the two cylinders in. |
A view of the cylinders fully
compressed. |
I always apply less of the anti
squeak goo that is called for.
Makes less of a mess so the
next time you do the pads they
will come off without using a prybar..
|
Now press in each of the pads. |
and apply each of the retaining
clips. The inner and ...... |
the outer next. |
Align the mounting bracket and
slide it back on.
|
Make sure the spring clips have
good contact with the mounting
bracket. If they don't then pry back
in them a bit so they will have good
contact. |
Slide the pin in or work it in by
rocking it back and forth as you insert. |
Reattach the j-clip onto the pin. |
Slide the caliper back onto the rotor.
|
Put the big bolts back in and..... |
