How to replace the front brake pads on a VW Jetta? What special tools do I need to replace brake pads on my car? Changing the rear brake pads is a simple process, though it does need a special caliper tool to do the job appropriately. Getting rid of the brake fluid reservoir cap will allow the fluid to more quickly take a trip backward through the lines when you reverse (and compress) the piston back into the caliper body. The brake fluid tank is located below the best rear corner of the plastic engine cover and simply to the left of the 12V vehicle battery.
Get rid of the front wheel and spin on the 5 lug bolts in the clockwise instructions by hand to avoid them from becoming cross threaded. Replace the Torx set screw and tighten up the 2 caliper bracket bolts to about 59 ft-lbs with a torque wrench. Somewhat tighten the 5 lug bolts in a criss-cross or "star" pattern with the lug nut wrench. It would be best to use a torque wrench or an electrical effect wrench with a torque adhere to appropriately tighten the lug nuts. Continue gradually tightening the lug bolts in a criss-cross or star pattern to 1/4 to 1/3 turn past hand tight or about 88 ft-lbs (120 Nm) of torque.
Next, snap the metal tabs on the back of the new inner brake pad into the caliper piston. Get rid of the inner pad from the caliper support. Install the lower end of the inboard shoe into the groove offered in the support. Position the outboard shoe in the caliper with the ears at the top of the shoe over the caliper ears and the tab at the bottom of the shoe engaged in the caliper cutout. Position the outboard pad with the ears of the pad over the caliper ears and the tab at the bottom participated in the caliper cutout.
The final step, it would be best to bleed the brake lines at this time in order to flush out the old fluid and change it with fresh DOT 4 brake fluid. Possibly its time to change your brake pads and rotors. How do you understand when it is time to replace your rotors? Have the front rotors switched on a lathe at a dealership. In order for the caliper to operate efficiently and not have the pads drag out the rotor, the smooth part of the 2 combination caliper bolts and slider pins need to be well lubed.
