Yes -you will have severe metal to metal scraping
A dodge caravan may be experiencing rear brake noise due to needing new brake pads. This may also be due to worn rotors.
Unless the caliper is broken, you can just replace the brake pads.
Aggressive driving.
how do change brake pads on a 2002 dodge pickup 4x4
dodge caravan front brake rotors should come off after removing the brake caliper. first check for any hardware that may hold the rotor in place, then hit the rotor with a hammer, in between the wheel mounting studs. (not on the area where the brake pads make contact. this should knock the rotor loose. good luck.
shoes
The brake pads are actually shoes. The emergency brake relies on the rear brake shoes being applied by tension on the emergency brake cable against the rear drums to hold the car stationary. In other words, the rear brakes double as the emergency (parking) brakes.
you have to remove the caliper to access the brake pads
please advise, thanks
1/2 wrench or 1/2 socket and ratchet and that's basically all it takes
The brake pads on a 2004 Dodge Ram 2500 4x4 are replaced by removing the wheels, unbolting the calipers, and taking out the brake pads. The caliper piston must be pressed back in before new pads are installed.
Wheels removed..........remove the 2 bolts holding the caliper to the steering knuckle...........remove the pads! Using a c clamp or similar, press the piston back into the caliper. install new pads, and reinstall caliper. Be sure to pump the brake pedal before test driving.
