  How to Service Front Brake Pads on Chrysler Prowler?

  A:

  Lift the vehicle and take out the center cap from the wheel with a trim stick to prevent scratches. Following this, take your wheels and tires off and screwdriver out the 2 bolts that secure the disc Brake Caliper to the caliper adapter. Move the caliper's free end so it is at an angle to the adapter, then glide the other end away from the machined abutment. Hang the caliper with a plastic tie strap from the upper control arm to protect the brake flex hose. Loosen the clip holding the outboard brake shoe and slide it off and put a flat tool inside the inboard shoe opening, pushing it out of the brake caliper. Press the caliper piston all the way into the bore, remove the protective paper from the noise suppression gasket on both brake shoes and set the new inboard brake shoe against the piston. First, move the new outboard brake shoe onto the caliper, lube the abutments there with Mopar Brake Grease and after that, carefully slot the caliper and both shoes onto the caliper adapter without touching or harming the seals on the guide pin bushings. Now, put in the caliper guide pin bolts and tighten them to 27 Nm (20 ft. lbs.). Once that's finished, mount the wheel and the tire back in place. Attach the wheel mounting stud nuts only as much as possible by hand, then tighten the stud nuts with a torque wrench up to half the required torque. Wind them again to apply the full specified torque of 135 Nm (100 ft. lbs.). After this, set the center cap, lower the car and step on the brake pedal several times to test a solid feel before driving.
