I tried the search, looked in my haynes, chilton, and my DF Xmas gift (FSM) and could not find all the parts and things I need to do my front brakes. Any help and links are appreciated.

 

pads and maybe some fluid

 

What size hex driver do I need to unbolt the calipers?

 

Ok. Found the master bolt list thread. 3/8 allen key!

 

Beer!

pads, c-clamp to compress calipers, hex or socket to remove ? can't remember. slide lube, anti squeak goop, brake cleaner. maybe a little fluid to top off or bleed. if rotors are all scarred up, then you'll need to turn or replace rotors.

you're 2wd right, so do you have the simple slip on rotors, or do you have rotors with hubs. if with hubs, then at a minimum - repack the tapered bearings, maybe replace them, maybe replace rotors and you'd need the seal on the back side. if you have a seal puller, you can pull/reuse the seal. if you bash it out screwdriver, you'll likely need new seals.

 

I think my rotors have hubs. They look like they are capped off by the dust caps. Can I replace them with slip on rotors?

 

zip ties or rope to hold the caliper out of the way, if you abs and your repacking bearings or taking the rotors off you don't want that caliper hangin.

 

us 2wd have the hub and rotor all in one


dont for get to pop the brake res
