Brake Pads, Rear

Service and repair of rear brake pads start with a fluid drainage process which should bring the master cylinder reservoir level down to half. The installation of brand new pads becomes necessary when they reach the specified wear threshold beyond metal backing plate or rivets. Additionally new pads should always be used in complete axle sets. Check the brake pads for wear marks alongside contamination and perform replacements if needed. No steps should be taken to detach the rear wheel brake hose when performing this service. Take the rear disc brake caliper out then work to avoid letting brake pads encounter substances such as grease and oil and brake fluid and other contaminants. Pull out the brake pads before pushing the caliper piston towards the caliper body. The slippers should be discarded before checking the brake disc for cracks which indicates the need for new disc installation. Machining of the brake disc becomes necessary when you detect vibrations in the steering wheel and seat along with the brake pedal during braking operations. Machining should be performed on severely scored brake discs which produce conditions identical to those made by worn linings touching the backing plate. Brake disc thickness measurement should happen before new brake disc installation when the minimum standard is not achieved. It is necessary to replace brake pads with new stainless steel slippers even if existing slippers look intact when you perform brake pad installation. Align slippers correctly by fitting them against the outboard end of anchor plate rails. Remove dust from the slippers mating area prior to placing new slippers. New brake pads need full axle set installations while technicians must never install brake pads on only one vehicle side. Cylinder parts should be checked for damage before reinstallation of the rear brake caliper followed by a verification procedure to confirm normal operation.

Service and repair of the rear brake pads starts with draining some brake fluid from the master cylinder reservoir until it reaches the half-full mark. It is vital to install new pads when their wear extends to the specified thickness boundary that reaches the metal backing plate or rivets and always replace pads as complete axle pairings. Brake pad inspection should be performed to check both wear patterns and contamination before exactly replacement must occur. The maintenance of the rear wheel brake hose requires no removal throughout this work. The removal process of the rear caliper demands maximum caution to stop brake pads from any fluid or contaminant transfer. Seize the caliper piston inside the caliper before removing the brake pads. Throw away the slippers and examine the brake disc for any presence of cracks; a replacement brake disc becomes necessary. Machining should be performed on brake discs that produce steering wheel and seat and brake pedal vibrations during braking. Similarly, discs with heavy scoring need to be machined as well. The brake disc needs to be measured for minimum thickness until it passes the specifications or a new brake disc needs replacement. The installation of new brake pads requires stainless steel slippers which should be fresh because old slippers may not indicate damage; therefore they must be placed correctly against the anchor plate rail's outboard end. The mating surface of the slippers must get cleaned before adding new hardware. All brake pad installation must occur within complete axle sets instead of single-sided installation before adding the rear disc brake caliper. Finally, verify correct brake operation.

Inspect the disc brake caliper for leaks; if leaks are found, disassembly is required.
