Front Disc Brake Pads: Removal
- Raise and support vehicle. Remove wheel and tire assembly. Temporarily install wheel lug nuts to retain rotor position. Remove brake caliper from torque plate and wire aside; leave brakeline connected. See Figure.
- Remove anti-rattle springs (if equipped), anti-squeal shims and pads. Remove pad support plates and pad wear indicators. Check rotor thickness and runout. Measure brake pads and replace if necessary. See appropriate DISC & DRUM BRAKE SPECIFICATIONS table at end of article.
NOTE:
Some models have one or more sets of anti-squeal shims. If one set of shims is vented, place it between pad and outer anti-squeal shim.
