I have found that its a bit easier if you let the pressure out of the brake lines. BUT if you do that make sure you bleed your brakes and add brake fluid afterward
front piston pushes back but rear is treaded and you have too screw it back in normal tread on this
Front disc brake caliper bleeder screw: between 13-18 ft. lbs
the smaller of the brake shoes goes to the front side. remember to lube and screw the brake adjuster together before reassembling.
once the wheel is off you may see 2 screws those have to be removed before you get the rotor off, i suggest buying a impact screw driver ($20-30), put the right size bit on the driver and hit the back of the screw driver with a hammer while turning the screw driver counter clockwise if it doesnt come off you can hit it while turning the driver clockwise to help loosen the screw then clockwise once those are off the rotor comes out
requires bleeding the system 2 people required pump brake peddel till firm open bleeder screw peddel will go to the floor hold to floor close screw repeat till no air in brake line .note always ensure master brake cylinder is full of brake fluid
The bleed screw on the calipers of brake systems are for 'bleeding' air out of the brake lines.
There is a set screw on the back of the Caliper that you turn to compress the piston. You use the same set screw to adjust the brakes when you change brake pads.
always use Honda Heavy Duty DOT 3 Brake Fluid. 1. make sure brake fluid level in reservior is at MAX 2. attach a length of clear tube to the bleed screw 3. have someone slowly pump the brake pedal several times, then apply steady pressure 4. loosen the left front brake bleed screw, loosen brake bleed screw to allow air to escape system. then tighten the bleed screw. 5. repeat procedure for every wheel until air bubbles no longer appear in fluid Sequence: Front left, Front Right, Rear Right, Rear Left 6. refill master cylinder reservoir to MAX
Collapse caliper(screw driver to pry caliper apart), remove brake pin plug, remove brake pin, remove pads, reverse for install
The 1995 Nissan 240 emergency brake has an adjustment screw on the brake pad. Turn the adjustment screw to adjust the brake height.
At the front of the brake chamber, there is usually a rubber flap. You pull that back, and you can see the screw you have to twist to cage them. Typically, they will come with the caging bolts, but some fleets remove them.
If the parking brake uses this caliper then it is threaded a special tool (not expensive available at Sear or auto parts) is required to twist it back into the caliper body they have parking brake shoesd wich are cable drive,,,,,,, the caliper is stationary use a screw driver
