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
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.
take tire off! remove the slide pins on caliper,should be Allen wrench heads on bolts. then slide off of rotor!!
For a 2006 vehicle, the torque specification for the brake caliper slide pin typically ranges between 15 to 20 lb-ft. However, it's essential to consult the specific service manual for your vehicle model, as torque specifications can vary. Always ensure to use a calibrated torque wrench for accurate measurements.
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.
