REAR BRAKE PADS, REPLACEMENT (LIVE REAR AXLE)
Special tools: 999 2809, 2917, 2918
E1. Jack up and support rear of car. Remove wheels
Mark wheel positions if locating studs are not fitted.
E2. Remove:
^
split pins (use 3 mm drift)
^
spring plate
^
brake pads
Use extractor 999 2917 if pads are stuck.
E3. Inspect components
Carefully clean pad locations. Caliper must be reconditioned if dirt has entered cylinders due to damaged dust seals.
Inspect disc friction surface.
Replace disc if component shows signs of severe wear, distortion, variation in thickness or other conditions.
E4. Press brake piston back fully
Press back pistons slowly using adjustable pliers or press tool 999 2809, taking care to avoid damage to dust seals. Sluggish movement of the
pistons, as indicated by failure of the pistons to return to their original position when pressed inward, may be due to oxidation. Caliper must be
reconditioned if this is the case.
Note: Level in brake fluid reservoir may rise when pistons are pressed back, causing fluid spillage.
