Product Information:
Here are the brake Shoes
I got them at Advanced Auto Nothing Fancy just the Life Time warrantee ones
The Ys: There are screachers on the brake pads but Once you notice them squealing its almost too late. My rivets were already starting to bore in to my rotors and I only drove about 50 miles squeaking around until I had the chance to change them… BAD IDEA !
How ever I’m not doing a Rotor Change at this time thier not real bad yet, but would of been trashed with about another 100 miles with the brake shoes in there current state
The Carnage: 48,000 Miles
The Install:
Set the E-Brake
Pry off the Hub Cap with a big strait Screw Driver
Brake each of the lug nuts loose (15/16) but DO NOT REMOVE
Most garages probly have a 4 way or the stock equipment Tire Iron, But I had to use a 1/2 drive 15/16 and a cheater pipe
Jack up the Drivers side. Here’s a good jack point
Finish removing all the lug nuts, and Pull the tire off
Here’s the brake Caliper
Note: These photos are from the Passenger side
Spray the Allens and the Caliper Bolts with some penetrating oil.
With the 7/32 Allen Wrench Remove the Allens
With the 16 MM 12 PT Remove the Caliper Bolts
A little tap with your palm and the caliper will come loose from the rotor.
Don’t let the caliper hang on the brake lines, just set it up on top of the rotor
To remove the Outer Caliper locate the removal points (arrows) and just pull it up out of there
Here’s the Outer Caliper This piece holds your brake pads.
Push the pads out
Put new pads in
Set it aside
Locate the Brake bleeder and loosen it
With channel locks or a C clamp compress the clynders then retighten the bleeder
Note: Use the brake cleaner during the whole reinstall process
Re-Position the outer Caliper to the inter Caliper
Place the caliper back on the rotor and replace the Allens and the Bolts
Now find your helper
Have your 3/8 inch wrench on the bleeder, Have your helper get in the truck and pump the brakes a few times then hold it to the floor, Then loosen the bleeder and brake fluid will squart out, Once its done squarting out tighten the bleeder, then tell your helper OK, Then they will remove there foot from the brake, Repeat till your sure there is no air in the system.
Note: When you loosen the bleeder and they are pushing on the brake, the peddle will go all the way to the floor Do NOT let them let off the brake while the bleeder is open or it will fill your brake system full of air.
Replace your Tire
Snug the lug nuts you wont be able to fully tighten them right now because the tire will want to spin
Let the jack down & Tighten down the lug nuts in a similar
order
Replace the hub cap
Now Repeat the process on the other side
When the other sides done fill your brake reservoir back to full then test drive
