Brake Pad: Service and Repair
Brake Pads Replacement (Rear)
REMOVAL PROCEDURE
CAUTION: Do not move the vehicle until a firm brake pedal is obtained. Air in the brake system can cause the loss of brakes with possible
personal injury.
NOTICE: Inner and outer brake pads must be new or parallel. Parking brake adjustment is not valid with tapered pads, and may cause caliper/parking
brake binding. This will result in overheating and possible damage of the brake linings, rotor, and/or caliper.
1. Remove two-thirds of the brake fluid from the master cylinder.
2. Raise and suitably support the vehicle.
3. Mark the relationship of the wheel to the axle flange.
4. Remove the tire and the wheel.
5. Install two wheel nuts in order to retain the rotor.
6. Remove the bolt (2) and washer that attach the cable support bracket to the caliper.
Unless the caliper will be removed completely from the vehicle, do not disconnect the parking brake cable from the caliper parking brake lever or
the brake hose from the caliper.
7. Remove the sleeve bolt (10).
