2000 Chevrolet Tracker Brake Pad Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the brake pads on 2000 Chevrolet Tracker?

  A: Before replacing brake pads you should refrain from working with brake linings and do not use dry tools or compressed air on wheel brake parts because specific models contain asbestos fibers. A soft wet cloth helps remove dust from the parts. Take out 66% of the brake fluid from the master cylinder reservoir by using a siphoning device. Lift the vehicle and take out its tire and wheel parts before removing them. After taking out the 2 caliper pin bolts apply temporary support to the brake parts to shield them from harm. Hang the caliper bracket separately using wire to stop damaging the brake hose. Uninstall both brake pads (items 2 and 3) along with their retainers and insulators. Decide to replace the brake pads when both the pad and plate measure less than 0.295 inch (7.5 mm) in thickness. Carefully look at the caliper and brake rotor for signs of uneven thickness and metal wear on their surfaces. Use the Brake Pad insulators to attach the 2 brake pads together and put the wear indicator Brake Pad in the inner position. Fit the 2 brake pads into the caliper and push the boots into the grooves. Place the caliper onto its bracket and tighten the 2 caliper pin bolts to 27 nm (20 foot pounds). Replace the tire unit and wheel assembly then lower the car while filling up the master cylinder reservoir. Begin engine and step on brake pedal many times until the caliper piston takes its proper place before polishing the brake pads.
