DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

Rear Disc Brake
The brake pads have an adhesive backing that adheres to the brake caliper to reduce brake shudder and noise. The use of parts cleaners breaks down the adhesive and causes the brake pads to release from the brake caliper.

The brake caliper is mounted to a brake caliper anchor plate, which is bolted to the wheel knuckle. The brake caliper anchor plate uses locating and guide pins to allow the brake caliper to move as the brake pads wear.

The brake disc is a non-ventilated full-cast design. The brake disc is removed and installed by removing the brake caliper and anchor plate as an assembly.

The brake disc shield is mounted to the wheel knuckle and is held in place by 3 screws. It protects the wheel bearings and inner surface of the brake disc from damaging road debris.

The brake pads are housed in the brake caliper anchor plate assembly and are of a non-asbestos composition.
