Rear bRAKES 700 1989

posted by  someone claiming to be ringlee on  Tue Jul 2 05:07 CST 2002 [RELATED]

IRS=Independent rear suspension (compared with solid live axle).

PBR or Dan Block are both good pads. I am told the 45 chamfer cuts squeel problems.

Buy the hardware kit, which includes the pad retainer pins and new anti-rattle springs. You can re-use the existing shims, but coat the back of the pads with synthetic brake grease to eliminate squeel. You do not need to remove the caliper, merely drive the caliper pins out with a punch and remove the pads. Squeeze the pistons back with water pump pliers, using a piece of coke can to protect the pistons from the plier jaws.

Now is also a great time to flush your brake fluid. See the FAQ for details.
