The One thousand nine hundred ninety three Plymouth Grand Voyager comes equipped with front and rear CD brake pads. The brake pads are bound to for stopping the Plymouth Grand Voyager by applying coercion against the brake rotors. When the brake pedal is pushed through, the caliper cylinder pushes against the brake pads. The brake pads then compress the brake rotor. The friction from the pads being pushed against a turning rotor is the main process that stops the Plymouth Grand Voyager. Change the brake pads before the pads wear down to the wear indicators.
Instructions
1. Park the One thousand nine hundred ninety three Plymouth Grand Voyager on a level area and set the emergency brake to prevent the van from rolling.
2. Loosen the lug nuts from the front wheels with a tire tool or a lug wrench.11. Crank the Grand Voyager and pump the brake pedal five or six times to seat the brake pads to the proper working distance from the rotors. Then, turn the engine off.
Position the safety stands close to the front wheels so that the stands can safely hold the weight of the van. Lower the Plymouth Grand Voyager to the safety stands and leave the jack up.
4. Finish unscrewing each lug nut from the front wheels with the tire tool and then your fingers. Pull the front wheels off and place the wheels down flat to prevent them from rolling away.
5. Locate the access opening on the side of the brake caliper. Slide the small pry bar into the access opening and pry the outer disc brake pad toward the back of the brake caliper. This will cause the caliper cylinder to retract inward and loosen the caliper enough to remove it from the rotor.
6. Locate the slide pin bolts on the back of the caliper. There are two upper and lower slide pin bolts that connect the caliper to the caliper housing. Remove the slide pin bolts by turning the bolts counterclockwise with the ratchet and a socket.
7. Pull the bottom of the brake caliper away from the brake rotor until the top part of the brake caliper also comes off the rotor. Hang the brake caliper to the front strut or to the frame rail with a piece of rope.
8. Pull the inner brake pad out of the metal retaining clip and out of the brake caliper. Then, lower the C-clamp into the caliper so that the adjustment rod is facing the caliper cylinder. Turn the C-clamp so that the adjustment rod compresses the caliper cylinder inward. Keep compressing the cylinder until it is completely inside the caliper.
9. Unscrew the C-clamp and remove it from the caliper. Pull the outer brake pad out of the metal retaining clip. Position the two new brake pads into the metal retaining clips inside of the brake caliper. Untie the rope from the caliper and hang the caliper back on the side of the rotor. Screw the slide pin bolts back into the caliper and tighten with the ratchet and socket until tight.
10. Slide the wheel onto the wheel studs and screw the lug nuts in place. Tighten the lug nuts down tight with the tire tool. Move to the other three wheels and follow the preceding instructions for replacing the brake pads. When you have finished replacing the brake pads on all four wheels, jack the vehicle back up and remove the stands. Lower the van to the ground and remove the jack.
Do not remove the lug nuts; just loosen them.3. Slide the jack under the Grand Voyager and jack it up high enough for the safety stands. Slide the safety stands under the frame rail on both sides of the van.
12. Finish tightening the lug nuts with the tire tool. Then, use the torque wrench to torque the lug nuts to One hundred foot-pounds on each wheel.
