Caravan FWD L4-2.4L VIN B (1998)
Correctly Supported Caliper
5. Support caliper to prevent the weight of the caliper from damaging the flexible brake hose.
6. Remove the rear rotor from the hub by pulling it straight off the wheel mounting studs.
7. Remove the outboard brake shoe from the caliper. Brake shoe is removed by prying brake shoe retaining clip over raised area on caliper and
sliding the brake shoe off the caliper.
Removing Inboard Brake Pad From Piston
8. Remove inboard brake shoe from caliper. Inboard brake shoe is removed by pulling it out of the caliper piston, until the retaining clip is free of the
piston.
CALIPER INSPECTION
Check for piston seal leaks (brake fluid in and around boot area and inboard lining) and for any ruptures of the piston dust boot. If boot is
damaged, or fluid leak is visible, disassemble caliper assembly and install a new seal and boot, (and piston if scored).
Check the caliper dust boot and caliper pin bushings to determine if they are in good condition. Replace if they are damaged, dry, or found to be
brittle.
INSTALL
NOTE: Step 1 below is only required when installing a caliper after new brake shoes have been installed.
1. Completely retract caliper piston back into piston bore of caliper assembly.
2. Lubricate both adapter abutments with a liberal amount of Mopar Multipurpose Lubricant, or equivalent.
3. If removed, install the rear rotor on the hub, making sure it is squarely seated on the face of the hub.
