Anyone know how to install brake pads?

I got some "Morse Friction Master Premium" pads for my rear and have no idea how to install them.

support the rear end... and remove the brake fluid cover.... remove the rims remove the 2 bolts on each rear caliper (connect the caliper to the axle) and remove the calipers...... support them so they can hang in the air...


using a brake pad spreader.... push the piston back into the cylinder and remove the old pads.. pop the new ones in and bolt back on.

btw... go get a hanyes manual...its great for stuff like this.. to tearing apart the motor!!! they are like 16.00 $ ussally

later, good luck

If you plan to undertake maintenance of your car, and lack experience in the specifics, its always a good idea to buy a "manual" to guide you. If you have the $$$$ get a set of Helm manuals for your car ($100 new, generally about 1/2 that used). For minimum cost, get a Chilton's 4th Gen manual for less than $20. I find that the Chilton's answers 95% of my questions.

As good and as inexpensive as free advice over the 'net is, there is no substitute for a detailed, step-by-step procedure, with ample photographs and blow-up parts illustrations.
