Removal and Installation

WARNING: Always install new brake shoes or pads at both ends of an axle to reduce the possibility of brakes pulling vehicle to one side. Failure to follow this instruction may result in uneven braking and serious personal injury.

1. Remove the wheel and tire.

2. NOTE: Inspect and install new brake pad mounting hardware as necessary.

Remove the brake pad mounting pins and spring retainer clip.
^ Remove the brake pads from the caliper assembly.





3. CAUTION: Do not allow the brake caliper to hang from the brake hose or damage to the hose may occur.

Remove and discard the 2 brake caliper bolts and position the brake caliper aside.
^ Support the brake caliper using mechanic's wire.
^ To install, tighten new caliper bolts to 115 Nm (85 lb-ft).

4. CAUTION: Protect the piston and boots when pushing the caliper piston into the caliper piston bores or damage to the piston or boots may occur.

If installing new brake pads, using a C-clamp and a worn brake pad, compress the brake caliper pistons into the caliper.
5. To install, reverse the removal procedure.
6. Apply the brake pedal several times to verify correct brake operation.
