When servicing or repairing the front brake pads, first lift the vehicle and remove both of the front tire and wheel assemblies. Work on one side first, adjusting the caliper piston a little if needed so you can remove the caliper. Slide the caliper off the turning knuckle by gently pulling it back once you've removed the caliper guide pin bolts. Hold the caliper up using a wire or a cord so the hose isn't damaged. The outboard brake shoe is held in place by a clip, so remove the clip to slide the shoe off the caliper and then separate the inboard brake shoe from the piston to pull it free. Proceed with this process on the remaining side as before. When cleaning brake pieces, do not dirty them with dust or anything that could contain asbestos and be careful to discard it safely. Check for signs of uneven brake shoe wear; if both shoes are worn to just below 7.95 mm (5/16 inch) or evenly, you should change the shoes. Before installing new brake shoes, make sure they go with the correct brake system, push the caliper piston until it retracts and fit the inboard shoe into the caliper with pressure. Slide the new outboard shoe onto the caliper, apply lubricant to the caliper slide abutments and very carefully set the caliper on the
Steering Knuckle, confirming that the seals are not damaged. After tightening the caliper guide pin bolts to 22 Nm (192 inch lbs.), staff should install the tire and wheel assembly and tighten the wheel nuts to 135 Nm (100 ft. lbs.). Repeat this for the other side, lower the vehicle when finished, pump your brake pedal, check the brake fluid, then adjust if required. Make sure to test the brakes before you drive the vehicle away from the center.
