It should be the same process as my 2002 Dakota 4x4 and it's really easy. You will need:
Set the parking brake, chock the rear wheels and loosen, do not remove, the wheel nuts on the front wheel that you're going to work on. Then jack up the vehicle and support it. Now remove the wheel nuts and remove the wheel. Use an 18 mm socket or wrench to remove the two bolts retaining the caliper assembly to the spindle. *DO NOT let the caliper hang by the brake line, rest it on a block or hang it up with wire*Remove the cap from the master cylinder reservoir and remove some brake fluid if necessary, before using a C-clamp (4" minimum) to squeeze the caliper piston back into the caliper slowly. Check the brake fluid level occasionally to be certain that it won't overflow.
Once that is done, slip off the old rotor (you might need to tap it with a soft faced hammer), and slide on the new rotor. Secure it temporarily with two wheel nuts.
Now you can pop the old pads off of the caliper and install the new ones using any shims, (that may or may not have been provided with the pads), and any anti squeal adhesive provided. Just put a little adhesive on the back of the pads where they contact the caliper or piston. *Be careful not to get any oil, grease, or other contaminants on the friction pads*
Clean any oil or grease off of the rotor with brake cleaner. Remount the caliper with the two 18mm bolts. Do the other other side following the same steps.
Before remounting the wheels, check the brake fluid level, start the engine and pump the brake pedal slowly until it feels firm. *Check the fluid periodically, don't let it run out!!* Check your work, top up the brake fluid to the correct level and cap the reservoir. Reinstall the wheels and lower the vehicle.
Front disc, rear drum. with rear abs
replace front brake rotors and pads.
Sticking brake calipers. This can be caused by moisture in the brake fluid which will cause the calipers to rust. Replace the calibers and replace all the brake fluid. It can also be caused by driving with your foot on the brake.
how do i find out if i have ABS on my front wheel bearing , on my 2000 dodge Dakota quad cab 2 wheel drive
you look on another site and in the mannual
68, 69, 70, coronets, or chargers disc brakes will fit.
Lift the car, remove the tire, remove the brake shoe/caliper and remove the old brake pad. Put in the new brake pad, replace the brake shoe/caliper, replace the tire and lower the car to the ground.
call your local auto parts store.the cheapest pads for my truck are about $25 for the front set.
yea i bought a 1992 dodge Dakota back a couple years ago from a guy that had ran into a tree i had to replace the front end and all the parts i got ranged from 1991 to 1995 so hope this helps you out
howdo you change the front axel of a dodge Dakota 2000 4x4
Yes.
Unless the calipers are frozen- you will have a slight drag as the brake pads maintain contact with the caliper
