Brake Pads - 4 Piston

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.

NOTICE: Do not allow grease, oil, brake fluid or other contaminants to contact the pad lining material or damage to components may occur. Do not install contaminated pads.

1. Remove the wheel and tire. For additional information, refer to Wheels and Tires Removal and Replacement.

2. NOTE: Install new brake pads if they are worn past the specified thickness above the metal backing plates. Inspect and install new brake pad mounting hardware as necessary.

NOTE: Remove the brake pad mounting pins and spring retainer clip.
- Remove the brake pads from the caliper assembly.





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

NOTICE: 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, remove and discard the 2 brake caliper bolts and position the brake caliper aside.

- Support the brake caliper using mechanic's wire.

- Using a C-clamp and a worn brake pad, compress the brake caliper pistons into the caliper.

- To install, tighten new caliper bolts to 115 Nm (85 lb-ft).

4. To install, reverse the removal procedure.

5. Apply the brake pedal several times to verify correct brake operation.
