  Q: How to Replace Brake Pads?

  A: This procedure applies to both the front and rear disc brakes. Remove the cap from the brake fluid reservoir. Loosen the wheel lug nuts, raise the front or rear of the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands. Block the wheels at the opposite end. Remove the wheels. Work on one brake assembly at a time, using the assembled brake for reference if necessary. If machining is necessary, follow the information to remove the disc, at which time the pads can be removed as well. Push the piston back into its bore to provide room for the new brake pads. AC-clamp can be used to accomplish this. As the piston is depressed to the bottom of the caliper bore, the fluid in the master cylinder will rise. Make sure that it doesn't overflow. If necessary, siphon off some of the fluid. Always wash the brakes with brake cleaner before disassembling anything. If you're replacing the front pads, remove the lower caliper bolt while holding the caliper guide pin. On rear calipers, remove the upper caliper bolt. If you're replacing the front pads, pivot the caliper up and secure it with a piece of wire in this position; do not allow the caliper to hang by the flexible brake hose. Be careful not to damage the guide pin boots while rotating the caliper. On rear calipers, pivot the caliper down and the outer pad. Remove inner pad. Remove the upper and lower anti-rattle clips; make sure they fit lightly and aren't worn. Replace them if necessary. Install the clean or new anti-rattle clips. Install the outer pad, making sure that the ends are seated correctly into the anti-rattle clips. Pull out the upper and lower guide pins and clean them. Then apply a coat of high-temperature grease to the pins and reinstall them. Be careful not to damage the guide pin boots and replace any boots that are worn or damaged then install the inner pad in the same way. Place the caliper back into position over the brake pads and onto the caliper mounting bracket. Install the caliper bolt and tighten it. When reinstalling the caliper, be sure to tighten the mounting bolts. After the job has been completed, firmly depress the brake pedal a few times to bring the pads into contact with the disc. Check the level of the brake fluid adding some if necessary. Check the operation of the brakes carefully before placing the vehicle into normal service.
