Replace Rear Brake Pads


DTOSH

Recommended Posts


I replaced the front pads with no problems - hardest part was removing lug nuts - on so tight I broke a socket.

Rear calipers are different. How are pads accessed?

I helped a buddy replace his while we were R&R'ing the rear axle seals on both our rigs. It's been a while, but I do remember it being a little different than the fronts. I don't think you can just slide those pads out like the front. Since he was tearing into the axle, the caliper had to come off anyways, so we just collapse the pistons and set the brakes pad in the caliper, then slid it back onto the rotor. If you can't figure anything else out, that's a pretty easy route to go.

I posted a couple write-ups on www.ih8mud.com a while back. posted some images from the factory service manual there too...let me find it and post it here too.

it's pretty easy to do, you do need to remove the caliper to do the job -- no big deal.

GREAT!!
