Rear Brake Pads


Removal & Installation



  1. Before servicing the vehicle, please familiarize yourself with safety procedures.

  3. Raise and safely support the vehicle.
  4. Remove the wheels.
  5. Insert a small prybar through the caliper opening and pry the caliper (using the outboard brake pad) to bottom the piston in the caliper bore.
    NOTE
    This will back the brake pads off of the rotor surface to facilitate the removal and installation of the caliper assembly.
  6. Pry the caliper support spring out of the caliper.
  7. Remove both caliper slide pin bushing caps and slide pins.
  8. Lift the caliper from the anchor.

  10. Remove the brake pads from the caliper.
To install:
  1. Position the brake pads onto the caliper.
  2. Position the caliper into place on the anchor.
  3. Coat the caliper slide pins with silicone grease and torque them to 21-30 ft. lbs. (29-41 Nm). Install the slide pin bushing caps.
  4. Install the caliper support spring in the top of the caliper under the anchor; then, install the other end into the lower caliper hole.
    NOTE
    Hold the spring in the caliper hole with your thumb while prying the spring end out and under the anchor.
  5. Fill the master cylinder with fluid and bleed the brake system.
