Rear Calipers & Disk’s – 4 Hours

Simple enough exercise, just time consuming.

Steps are as follows:

1. Remove differential cover, and remember to purchase a new gasket
2. Remover pinion shaft lock bolt, and slide out pinion shaft (picture 1)
3. Push axle towards center of differential and remove C lock washer, axle will now pull straight out
4. Install caliper bracket and reassemble in reverse order.

The issue was when mounting the calipers, the caliper guide casting rubbed on the disks. Quick trip to Home Depot to purchase a few flat washers to use as spacers between the bracket and caliper and the job was done.






Single washers required on the passenger side and double washer’s driver’s side. (See pictures 2 and 3, picture 2 clearly shows the interference and picture 3 the clearance, zinc flat washer can clearly be seen to the right of the bolt head)
