| BRAKE PAD INSTALL | ||||||||||
| Tools needed for this installation are: Four way lug wrench Hydralic jack Jack stand 14mm wrench or socket C clamp or flat head screw driver First loosen the wheel lugs up but don't take them out and then jack the car up and place the jackstand under it in a safe place. Then loosen them up and take them off. If you look at the front of the caliper you will see a square opening. this is what is known as a WINDOW. Look inside of the window and you will see where the rotor and the pad touch. Take a place the flat head screw driver in between the rotor and the pad and then pull toward yourself. You don't have to apply to much pressure as it will move very easily. Keep pulling until it stops moving. Once you have done that then take the 14mm wrench or socket and bolt located just below the WINDOW toward the inside of the car. Once you have taken that bolt completely out then you can rotate the caliper upward so that you can access the pads. All you have to do is pull the old pads out and then put the new ones in. Do everything in reverse. espoc racing team |
