the rear is pretty hard, from what i remember i removed the caliper( should be 2 bolts holding it), but i dont remember if you can just remove the middle pin that holds the pads in place.

ok i just checked up on alldata. it does say you can just take out the shim, and then the pin in the middle which is holding the pads. and then you use a flat bar and push the caliper piston in.

sorry i dont have pictures, alldata wont let me copy

Here you go guys.



Remove anti-squel spring and pad guide pin
a. raise the "B" portion with hand, push up the "A" portion and disengage the anti-squel spring from caliper
b. remove the anti-squeal spring.
c. remove the clip and pad guide pin

Remove pads and anti-squeal shim
a. remove the 2 pads.
b. remove the 4 anti-squeal shims from each pad ( or you can use the new ones from the new pads, if they come with it)






Press in the piston with a monkey wrench handle or equivalent.

Install new pads

reinstallation should be reverse direction as removal


Hope this helps everyone for now. let me know if i am missing some info

wow, thanks a lot "deception". i have a question on how to remove the clip and pad guide pin. where is the pad guide pin located? is it outside or inside of the rotor. sorry for all these but it's my first time and i want it to be done correctly.thanks

let referr to this picture http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...y/caliper2.jpg

you would press on "A" and should be able to pull the pin out. if not over time it should be rusted or due to heat it will get stuck. so you might want to get like a small screw driver and push it out

what do you mean "is it outside or inside of the rotor."

man8959

so I raise B and push up A to get the clip out, then i pull the pin out and that will let me remove the pad? there is no bolt or anything to get the pin out? how many pin does it has?

no no no your gettingthis all wrong.


remove the anti squealing spring first. and then you remove the pad guide pin. if you dont do this step you cant remove the guide pin and pads.

it should be the same step:



a. raise the "B" portion with hand, push up the "A" portion and disengage the anti-squel spring from caliper this will help unlock/disengage the anti-squealing spring/clip
b. remove the anti-squeal spring.
c. remove the spring/clip and pad guide pin
d. then remove pads out of caliper

thanks deception you're great helper. now, i can see where everything is from this pic. i will try to do it when i have time. thanks

man8959

to push the piston back ,should i use rubber handle so it wont scratch the rotor

It wouldn't hurt to use something rubbery, but a cheaper solution is to fold newspaper (until its thick) and rest it in between the rotor and your metal bar.
