First you have to take the calipers off. Then compress the piston and lift the caliper off. Then you pull remove the springs to get the pad off.
Remove the two pins going through the pads. Pull out the old pads, push in the piston and install new pads, replace pins with the clips.
you should change all the pads and wires together you should change all the pads and wires together
The torque settings for the caliper pins on a Ford Escort is 21 ft-lbs. For the caliper anchor bolts, the setting is 98 ft-lbs.
Use a nail or small pointed item and a hammer. That's how I did mine
Put the car on jack stands and remove the wheels. Locate the calipers and brake pads and remove the pins and clips from the calipers. Slide out the old brake pads and push the piston back to make room for the new pads and shims. Slide in the new pads and shims and put the pins, clips and cotter pins back in. The front and rear replacement process are very similar, but have different pads and shims.
Remove lug nuts and wheel. Around on the back side of the rotor, remove two caliper pins. Rotate the pad housing out. Pull old pads off. Use one of the old pads to compress the caliper so new brake pads will fit. Slide new brake pads in housing. Rotate back onto rotor. Grease caliper pins. Put the caliper pins back in rubber boot. Attach housing back to rotor. Then put the wheel back on. Check brake fluid and workbrake pedal a few times before putting car in gear.
All you need is a screwdriver and a hammer.You just knock out the two pins on the caliper,change the pads and tap the pins back in.
there are 2 tabs you can pry with a screwdriver, pull out the pins, then pull off the housing. twist the bulb holder, and you are good. www.teamzx2.com
You probably have frozen brake caliper slider pins or a frozen brake caliper piston on one side.
I just did mine last week on a 96 wagon (1.9L), and it's kind of amusing. Remove the tire, caliper, and your brake pads are on 'rails', that allow them to slide side to side. Remove the pins, pull rails out, replace pads. There are a lot more steps, but i am extremely exhausted from work. I am going to bed, I'll write more tomorrow :P
