Next use a c-clamp from the outside pad to the back of the caliper and compress the caliper.Then remove the lower caliper bolt and swing the caliper upwards away from the rotor. replace the pads and reinsert the caliper and bolt. Make sure before moving the car you pump the brake pedal until firm. Then you need to Burnish the new braking surface after the brake pads have been replaced. Burnish the new braking surface by making 20 stops from 30 mph. Use medium to firm pressure on the brake pedal. Do not overheat the brakes.<br><b>References : </b><br> You need to jack up the car and remove the wheel, make sure you use good jack stands to support the weight of the van.

Mechanic O is right, they don't vary much from vehichle to vehicle. I just recently replaced pads on a 1998 Ford Expo. I had only the basic tools and it still on took about 2 hours to complete. It is kind of a lengthy process though. I would be happy to help walk you through any problems. My e-mail is drj232002@yahoo if you need help. :)<br><b>References : </b><br> I have done a few brake jobs myself. Mechanic O is right, they don’t vary much from vehichle to vehicle.

You will need to turn/replace the rotors and make sure everything is in good shape. If you need to ask how to do this job, then for your safety have the job done by a shop so it is done right. At least get someone who knows how to do the job right help you for the first time.<br><b>References : </b><br>rebult many brakes There is more involved than just replacing the brake pads.
