How do you change front brake pads for 94 Geo Tracker 4X4?

Answer 1

Jack up the front end of the Tracker, take off the lug nuts and wheel, loosen the two caliper bolts and lift up the caliper. Don't let it hang by the brake hose! Have your new pads ready and be observant as to which pad is the inner and outer pad. You may have to compress the caliper with a big pair of pliers or a c-clamp to force the fluid away from the caliper before lifting it up. Put the new pads in the caliper and slip back over the rotor. You should torque the caliper bolts after replacement ( I don't know what the torque foot pounds is), then replace the wheel and bolts. DO ONE SIDE AT A TIME, so you have the other side for reference if you get distracted. After doing both sides, hit the pedal inside the car and it will seem soft until the pads reset to the rotor. Last thing to do is recheck the brake master cylinder to be sure it is in the normal range. These are the easiest pads to change I have ever done.
