Rear Brake Pads
Inspection and Replacement
• Never use an air hose or dry brush to clean brake
assemblies.
• Use an OSHA-approved vacuum cleaner to avoid
breathing brake dust.
1. Block the front wheels, loosen the rear wheel nuts
slightly, support the rear of vehicle on safety
stands, then remove the rear wheels.
2. Release the parking brake.
3. Remove the two caliper bolts and the caliper from
the bracket.
CAUTION:
• Thoroughly clean the outside of the caliper to pre-
vent dust and dirt from entering inside.
• Support the caliper with a piece of wire so that
it does not hang from the brake hose.

5. Using vernier calipers, measure the thickness of
each brake pad lining.
Brake Pad Thickness:
Standard: 8.5 - 9.5 mm (0.33 - 0.37 in)
Service Limit: 1.6 mm (0.06 in)
BACKING PLATE
NOTE: Measurement does not include pad backing
plate thickness.
6. Remove the pad retainers.

7. Clean the caliper thoroughly; remove any rust, and
check for grooves and cracks.
8. Check the brake disc for damage and cracks.
9. Make sure that the pad retainers are installed in the
correct positions.
10. Apply Molykote M77 grease to the pad side of the
shims. Wipe excess grease off the shims.

11. Install the brake pads and pad shims on the caliper
bracket.
When reusing the pads, always reinstall the brake
pads in their original positions to prevent loss of
braking efficiency.
Contaminated brake discs or pads reduce stop-
ping ability. Keep grease off the discs and pads.
NOTE: Install the inner pad with its wear indicator
facing downward.
12. Rotate the caliper piston clockwise into place in the
cylinder, then align the cutout in the piston with the
tab on the inner pad by turning the piston back.
CAUTION: Lubricate the boot with rubber grease
to avoid twisting the piston boot. If the piston boot
is twisted, back it out so it sits properly.

Disassembly
• Never use an air hose or dry brush to clean brake
assemblies.
• Use an OSHA-approved vacuum cleaner to avoid
breathing brake dust.
• Contaminated brake discs or pads reduce stopping
ability.
CAUTION:
• Do not spill brake fluid on the vehicle; it may damage
the paint; if brake fluid does contact the paint, wash
it off immediately with water.
• To prevent spills, cover the hose joints with rags or
shop towels.
• Clean all parts in brake fluid and air dry; blow out all
passages with compressed air.
