not lubricating your slide pins when you replace your brakes
jack up the back end and pull off the tires. take off the regular brake calipers (2 bolts) and pads. remove the caliper bracket (2 bolts). slide off the rotor/drum (will probably come off hard). The parking brake shoe should slide straight up.
take wheels off, remove brake calipers. rotors slide right off.
Slide calipers was invented by the French mathematician Pierre Vernier.It was known as Vernier calipers.
jack it up remove the wheel then the brake calipers then the rotors should slide off
take tire off! remove the slide pins on caliper,should be Allen wrench heads on bolts. then slide off of rotor!!
carefully take the bolts out of the back of the calipers and should be springs that hold the brake pads in just rasie them slightly and slide the pads off and then slide the new ones on and they should lock into place. becareful because you'll have to bleed the brake lines in order to take the calipers off and then to put them back on too.
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.
If they are of the "peel off" type Remove wheels Remove caliper mounting bolts Slide calipers off rotor Slide rotor off hub
remove th front wheel, undo the 2 bolts on calipers and bushings,thenlift calipers off. HINT: if calipers seem to stick then get a large flat bladed screwdriver and wedge it between rotor and caliper and apply just enough force to back off pistons in calipers to remove them then they will slide off.
Many kinds of grease can be used for brake slide pins. They have to be heat and moisture resistant.
To remove the brake calipers on a 2004 Mercury Monterey, start by safely lifting the vehicle and removing the wheel. Next, locate the caliper bolts on the back of the caliper and use a socket wrench to remove them. Once the bolts are removed, carefully slide the caliper off the brake rotor, and support it to avoid straining the brake line. Finally, if necessary, disconnect the brake line from the caliper for complete removal.
