A: To replace brake pads, first remove half the brake fluid from the reservoir. Loosen lug nuts, raise the vehicle, and remove wheels. Work on one brake assembly at a time, inspecting the Brake Disc. For 1970-1971 models, remove half the fluid from the master cylinder. Remove shoe hold-down clips, brake pad retaining clips, caliper pins, and upper stabilizer. Lift the caliper assembly, remove the outer pad, and depress the piston. For 1972-1979 and 1980 and later models, follow specific pad replacement steps. Reinstall the caliper and tighten bolts to the specified torque. Depress the Brake Pedal to bring pads into contact with the disc and check fluid level. For 1998 and later models with two-piston front calipers, follow specific advice. For rear pads, depress the piston, remove old pads, install new ones, and reinstall the caliper.
