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.

15. After installation, check for leaks at hose and line
joints and connections, and retighten if necessary.
16. Depress the brake pedal several times to make sure
the brakes work, then test-drive.
NOTE: Engagement of the brake may require a
greater pedal stroke immediately after the brake
pads have been replaced as a set. Several applica-
tions of the brake pedal will restore the normal
pedal stroke.ProCarManuals.com
