first time changing front brake pads on my 2006 1500 Ram and it doesn't seem as straight forward as I am use to.
after I loosen the caliper bolts I usually am able to pull them out (on other vehicles I have owned)
on the Ram they wont come out and there seems to be a nut behind the the mounting bracket that spins with the bolt and prevents me from removing it
any thoughts as to what I am doing wrong
they tend to do that sometimes. i take a pliers and clamp over the rubber piece while it spins lightly not to rip the boot or slide it back. then loosen them.
they are just 2 normal pins
All I had to do is take the 2 bolts of on the back of the caliper, then take a flathead and pop the middle piece up. Slide new ones on compress the caliper and put on.
good to go! thanks guys
once I figured out the caliper bolts are only an inch or so long and threaded into the nut behind the caliper mounting bracket I got it
rotors ready to go get turned down tomorrow morning
