Slide pressure plate assembly (4) off anchor
bolts.
Inspect the caliper for corrosion, bent anchor
bolts, cracks around bolts, cracks around
anchor bolt lugs and inlet fittings, and other
visible damage. Inspect the torque plate
assemblies for corrosion around anchor bolt
bushings and excessive wear in bushings.
The organic brake lining is identified by its
semi hard composition and rivets (5) used to
attach the lining to the pressure/back plate.
The rivet holes are visible on the lining.
Remove them as follows:
1 Being careful not to enlarge holes in
pressure plate/back plate, drill out rivets
attaching lining with a 1/8-inch diameter
drill.
2 Separate lining from pressure plate/back
plate.
Clean pressure plate and back plate surfaces
of dirt, grease, etc. before installing new
linings.
