How to Service and Repair Front Brake Pads on Dodge Nitro?

Start by lifting and supporting the car, take the front wheel and tire off and then work on the brake pads. Empty a small bit of brake fluid from the master cylinder reservoir with a clean suction gun. Pry the caliper up with a flat head screwdriver to get the pistons at the bottom of the caliper, then take out the bolts on the caliper mount. First, carefully remove the disc brake caliper from the adapter so that it doesn't hang on the brake hose; find a safe spot where you can hang it so that the force on the hose is reduced. Remove both the inner and outer pads at the last step.

Dodge Nitro Brake Pads use friction to convert the energy of motion into heat in order to slow down and stop the wheels. Each pad is constructed on a metal backing plate which supports a friction lining that is either molded or riveted and when hydraulic force is applied by the caliper then two pads press against each rotor. A thin layer is transferred by the lining on contact with the disc that helps to improve grip and kinetic energy conversion into thermal energy. The lining of disc pads thins out during normal use, so minimum thickness guidelines indicate when replacement is needed. Some pads are equipped with a wear indicator or electronic sensor to alert the driver when the pad needs replacing. The Dodge system uses these warnings to control stopping performance. The Dodge Nitro Brake Pads can ensure the vehicle does not slide. Dodge Nitro applications come in several formulations. These include non-metallic, semi-metallic and ceramic compounds. Each of them balances friction and heat resistance with durability for the driving conditions. While the equipment choice suits everyday commuting, heavier loads or high-speed stops can overheat the standard pads and lengthen the braking distance, so a specific material has ensured the consistent performance of Brake Pads and steady Nitro control. Because Brake Pads wear, replacement is necessary, and selecting Brake Pads fitted to the job helps Dodge's braking systems resist fade.
