Front Disc Brake Pads: Removal
- Raise and support front of vehicle. Remove front wheels. Remove caliper bolts, and support caliper aside so it does not hang from brake hose.
- Remove pads, pad shims, and pad retainers. See Figure . Measure thickness of brake lining. Minimum brake pad thickness is 0.06" (1.60 mm). Remove caliper bracket and bracket bolts. Thoroughly clean caliper and bracket. Check for cracks or grooves.
NOTE:
Replace brake pads in axle sets. DO NOT allow grease, brake fluid, or other contaminants to contact lining surface. Inspect, clean, and resurface or replace brake rotor as necessary.
