Rear Brake Caliper & Brake Pads: Removal

  1. Raise and support rear of vehicle. Remove rear wheels. Place "C" clamp on caliper. Solid end of clamp should contact back of caliper. Screw end should contact metal part of outboard pad. Tighten "C" clamp until piston is forced to bottom of bore.
  2. Remove caliper mounting bolts. Rotate caliper rearward off of rotor. Press one corner of outboard pad inward. Pry pad upward and rotate out of caliper. Press inboard pad outward until retainers are free of caliper piston. Remove pad from caliper.
  3. Support caliper with wire from available suspension component. Clean caliper with shop towels. DO NOT use compressed air to clean caliper. Caliper dust seals may be unseated and dirt forced into caliper piston bore. If fluid is leaking past the piston seal and dust boot, overhaul the caliper. See OVERHAUL  .
NOTE: If new caliper bolts are being installed or if reason for repair is to correct a drag or pull, check caliper bolt length. Correct caliper bolt shank length is 2.61-2.66" (66.4-67.6 mm) and thread length is .87" (22 mm). If caliper bolts are too long they will contact inboard pad and cause a partial apply condition.
