Brake Pad: Service and Repair
Cleaning and Inspection
Remove one of the front wheels and inspect the brake disc, caliper and linings. If linings are contaminated replace them with fresh linings.
If a visual inspection does not adequately determine lining condition, remove the pads and measure the total thickness of lining and backing at the
thinnest point.
-
If combined thickness of lining and backing is 7.95 mm (5/16 in) or less replace pads.
CAUTION: Do not get any oil or grease on the linings.
NOTES:
-
The wheel bearings should be inspected at this time and repacked if necessary.
-
It is recommended that all front wheel pads -- both sides -- be replaced whenever any front pad is worn or damaged.
-
Rear brake linings should be inspected when a brake problem is suspected.
-
Uneven wear of linings on different sides of the caliper or vehicle may indicate a sticking caliper.
