Rear Brake Pad Inspection and Replacement

'02-04 Models
Frequent inhalation of brake pad dust, regardless of
material composition, could be hazardous to your
health.
• Avoid breathing dust particles.
• Never use an air hose or brush to clean brake
assemblies. Use an OHSA-approved vacuum
cleaner.
Inspection
1. Raise the rear of the vehicle, and support it with
safety stands in the proper locations
(see page 1-15). Remove the rear wheels.
2. Check the thickness of the inner pad (A) and outer
pad (B). Do not include the thickness of the backing
plate.
Brake Pad Thickness:
Standard: 9.5 10.5 mm (0.37 0.41 in.)
Service Limit: 1.6 mm (0.06 in.)
3. If the brake pad thickness is less than the service
limit, replace all the brake pads as a set.
Replacement
1. Raise the rear of the vehicle, and support it with
safety stands in the proper locations
(see page 1-15). Remove the rear wheels.
2. Remove the flange bolts (A) while holding the pins
(B) with a wrench being careful not to damage the
pin boot, and remove the caliper (C). Check the
hose and pin boots for damage and deterioration.
To prevent damage to the caliper assembly or
brake hose, use a short piece of wire to hang the
caliper from the undercarriage.
3. Remove the pad shims (A) and pads (B).
