On Grand Wagoneer and Trucks, remove both brake pad from caliper. Note spring position and support spring from inboard shoe. Remove sleeves and bushings from caliper.
On all other models, hold anti-rattle clip against caliper adapter and remove outer brake pad. Remove inner brake pad and anti-rattle clip from caliper adapter. Clean caliper mating surfaces on adapter with a wire brush.
