How to Remove and Replace a Brake Caliper on Dodge Dakota?

Support and raise the vehicle, take off the front wheel and tire and then you can remove and replace the brake caliper. After that, get rid of the caliper slide pin bolts (4) and pull the disc brake caliper (1) off of the adapter (2) without letting the brake hose lower the caliper which might cause damage. After dealing with the piston, take off the inboard brake pad (4), the outboard brake pads (2) and all the bolts (5) holding the caliper adapter to the hub.

How to Properly Install a Brake Caliper on Dodge Dakota?

Do not apply petroleum-based grease to any rubber parts during installation; instead, only use non-petroleum-based grease in those places. After cleaning the slide pin bore from old grease, use either the grease provided in the kit or Dow Corning-807(R) grease. Put slide pins all over the device's main body, coat them with rubber and fit the boot over the pin before inserting it into the adapter. Firmly insert the slide pin into the adapter and then carefully push on the boot by the head of the pin to push out any remaining air. When fitting the banjo together, replace any existing washers on the bolts with new copper ones. Fit the brake caliper adapter to the disc brake caliper, after that fit a banjo bolt with new copper washers and tighten it to 28 Nm (250 in. lbs.) After that, place the caliper slide pin bolts in position and torque them to 32 Nm (24 ft. lbs.). Remove the support rod from the brake pedal and bleed just the affected part; if bleeding doesn't give the proper pedal, you should perform a base bleed system. Afterwards, set the tire and wheel assembly onto the axle and lower the vehicle.

The Brake Caliper is an important part of the Dodge Dakota vehicles since it is instrumental in achieving the ultimate aim of the braking system which is stopping the vehicle through the process of converting kinetic energy into heat through friction. When the brake pedal is pressed, hydraulic pressure moves the caliper's pistons, squaring brake pads with the rotors to arrest rotation by the wheels. Dodge Dakota models utilize two primary types of Brake Calipers: and two types of interest bearing, the fixed interest and the floating interest. The fixed brake calipers are firmly secured to the car's structure and also have several pistons on each side of the rotor, and thus, has a higher performance level although more expensive. On the other hand, the floating Brake Calipers, also known as the sliding calipers are the ones that possesses a single piston through which the caliper moves to press on the rotor on both its sides. However, floating calipers are comparatively easier and more reliable but they tend to stick at some point and create an unequal wear and tear which hampers the efficiency. It is will therefore useful to understand all these differences in order to properly maintain the braking system of the Dodge Dakota.
