Brake Pad Instructions

Is there an FAQ or instruction page for replacing pads/rotors on an '04? I can't find by searching.

Don't think so What info do you need?
Take off tire
Take two bolts off take caliper off
Take two lg bolts off take off caliper braket
Take rotor off
Puch back piston all the way with suitable tool. Avail locally. Watching fluid container Some guy's brake the bleeder open.
Install new rotor
Install caliper bracket, torque bolt.
Install new pads
Check pins for binding and greese them with brake greese check boots etc.
Install calipers, torque bolts.
Bleed brakes if you want the best situation Change fluid if you are ****....me
Put tires on tighten evenly. Get in truck pump brakes drive 5 miles before brakes work good. Wash hands no wash hands B4 getting into truck...Dah

Rich must have the torques handy and everything else I missed..

Thanks Dick. You've done this before I take it?

I'm looking for instructions for someone that hasn't. The newbie. The guy that's going to order top quality after market pads/rotors and skip the dealership labor costs. This is my primary vehicle, so I've got to finish what I start that weekend, or I don't work.

What is punch back? And what is the suitable tool? What exactly is brake grease? I get taking off the tire and the concept of torque! . How do you bleed brakes? I'm **** too! Torque values appreciated.

You have to push the hyd piston into the caliper. Sorry for the mis spell. Tool at auto zone or where ever....Cheap Napa for good rotors and pads. Buy a can of brake grease at a good parts store. I get the torques later if Forty fords doesn't help out.
