How do you replace brake Pads on El falcon?

Answer 1

if its disc brake you will find 2 bolts on the rear calipers with lock nut behind each one jack up the rear and support well loosen both bolts then remove lower one all together lift caliper and remove pad you aill need either a brake piston clamp or just a g clamp which you will need to put one end into the brake piston and the other onto the rear of the caliper to move the piston into the caliper far enough to fit the newer thicker pads after all this is done simply slide in the new pads with the lining on the disc surface and steel facing out making sure the spring on the base of each pad is located into its locking point then simply bolt the caliper back in place.

if its drum (dont think any are)then you should really have a manual to work from but if you want to try then you will need to jack up the rear remove the wheel chock the opposite front wheel to the side lifted release the handbrake and try to remove the drum by hand if that doesnt work you may find two threads on the outer surface of the drum where you can fit bolts to pull them off(not to sure with xh's)if it wont come off easy dont force it you will need to look on the back of the drum where you will find a slot now this could be tricky for a novice but if you get a thin flat head and stick it in the slot you can feel a cog about the size of a ten cent coin on the left hand rear wheel it needs to be wound downward to loosen the brake pads and the right needs to be wound upward to do the same once the drum is off there are two pins with springs and retainers on each pad mounting bracket use pliers to push them in and twist to release pay attention to the spring assembly on the entire setup and draw diagrams if you have to but basically remove it all and installation is a reversal of the same thing.to adjust your rears afterward simply adjust the cogs in the rear in the opposite direction of removal until the drum is a nice fit on the pads with minimum clearance. your handrake can be adjusted under the car right under the drivers feet aswell adjust nut until your handbrake locks the wheels within 3 clicks

Answer 2

Start by removing the wheel and removing the lug nuts. Once the brake pads are exposed, remove the retaining clips and slide out the brake pads. Replace with new ones and fasten them.
