Brake pads must be replaced when usable material on a brake pad lining NOTE: It is important to inspect both front and rear brake pads during the same inspection. Typically, front Replace both disc brake pads (inboard and outboard) at each caliper. It is also necessary to replace the pads on If the brake pad assemblies do not require replacement, be sure to reinstall the brake pads in the original position INSTALLATION NOTE: Perform Step 1 through Step 6 on each side of the vehicle to complete pad set installation, then 1. Completely retract the caliper piston back into the piston bore of the caliper. This is required to gain the neces- sary pad-to-rotor clearance for the caliper installation onto the steering knuckle. NOTE: Place the brake pad with the audible wear 2. Slide the outboard brake pad (2) onto the caliper (1). Be sure the retaining clip is squarely seated in 3. Place the inboard brake pad (5) in the abutment shims (4) clipped into the disc brake caliper CAUTION: Use care when installing the caliper onto the adapter bracket to avoid damaging the guide pin PM BRAKES - BASE 5 - 25 |
