Brake Pad: Service and Repair

DISC BRAKE PAD CHECK AND REPLACEMENT





NOTE: The brake pads have indicators that contact the brake disc when the brake pad thickness becomes 2 mm (0.08 inch), and emit a squealing sound to warn the driver.

CAUTION:
^ Whenever a pad must be replaced, replace both LH and RH wheel pads as a set to prevent the vehicle from pulling to one side when braking.
^ If there is a significant difference in the thicknesses of the pads on the left and right sides, check the sliding condition of the piston, lock pin and guide pin.





1. Check the brake pad thickness through the caliper body check port
Standard value: 10.0 mm (0.39 inch)
Minimum limit: 2.0 mm (0.08 inch)

CAUTION: Do not wipe the special grease from the guide pin. Do not contaminate the guide pin.





2. Remove the guide pin. Lift the caliper assembly and secure it with a wire.





3. Remove the following parts from caliper support.
1) Pad and wear indicator assembly
2) Inner shim B
3) Inner shim A
4) Pad assembly
5) Outer shim B
6) Outer shim A
7) Clip

4. Remove the following parts from caliper support.
1) Pad and wear indicator assembly
2) Inner shim B
3) Inner shim A
4) Pad assembly
5) Outer shim
6) Clip
5. Measure the hub torque before and after pad installation.

CAUTION: Do not apply excessive grease. Excessive grease may cause brake performance to become poor.

6. For front disc brake and rear disc bake, apply brake grease MOPAR Multi-purpose Grease Part No.2932524 or equivalent to the following positions before installing the pad.

^ Pad and wear indicator assembly and inner shim A contact surface
^ Inner shim A and inner shim B contact surface
^ Pad assembly and outer shim A contact surface
^ Outer shim A and inner shim B contact surface

^ Pad and wear indicator assembly and inner shim A contact surface
^ Inner shim A and inner shim B contact surface

7. Install the pad and caliper assembly, and check the brake drag force.
