• Q: How to Install Brake Pads on the Rear Wheels on 2008 Chrysler Pacifica?

  A: When replacing the pads in the rear brake, pull back the caliper piston all the way inside the caliper bore so there is space for installing the caliper. Go ahead and put the inboard pad retainer clip against the piston cavity. Press it in with your finger until it sits firmly in the groove and the inboard brake pad backing plate is flush with the caliper piston. Once you've installed the caliper, make sure the spring clip of the outboard brake pads is facing downwards. After that, place the brake pad locating pins against the ramp on the caliper fingers and slide the pad into place, making certain the pins are in the holes and the pad evenly contacts the caliper fingers. Be careful not to disturb the guide pin bushings and sleeves while you slot the shims onto the upper and lower slide sections of the adapter. After retracting the caliper guide pins, place the caliper into the adapter's mounting bosses, beginning with the upper bracket and align the outboard upper edge of the pad with the caliper slide. Place the caliper guide pin bolts carefully and do not cross-thread them; they must be tightened to 23 Nm (17 ft. lbs.). As soon as the assembly is in place, tighten all wheel mounting nuts to 135 Nm (100 ft lb), bring the vehicle back to the ground and press the brake pedal several times until it feels certain before driving. Also, make sure brake fluid is up to the proper level and after the road test, break a few times while arriving at various stops to remove any foreign matter and allow the pads to seat completely.
