Changing REAR brakes on Frontier 2006 - disc?

Ok so I did the fronts last summer, other than a few bolt removal issues - no sweat.

Friend tells me, OH the backs are even easier.



NO!



I can't pull the rotor. Just figured out that there is an E BRAKE inside this rotor apparently?



So when I picked up the parts, I got the pads and the rotors, but not sure what I will need once I get inside?



The problem:

I can't pull the rotor off. It seems like the rear rotor is 'stuck' to the ebrake or something. The ebrake is OFF.

There is a hole in the rotor where maybe you would stick something in to release the ebrake but can't figure out how.



I pryed at this rotor for over an hour...I'm afraid I could have damaged or bent the ebrake components now!

There is a mounting screw on the front of the rear rotor that must be removed before the rotor will come free. Also.. you will most likely require a piston reset tool for the rear brake. Its fairly easy to reset the piston on the front brakes but the rear ones can be a *****.Changing REAR brakes on Frontier 2006 - disc?
If you don't need to replace the parking brakes, don't. When you replace the pads on the rotor you need to remove the brake caliper, pull out the old pads and damper springs then squeeze the hydraulic caliper piston back into the caliper. When you change pads start from the right- rear wheel first then go to the left - rear wheel. This method is done because of the elimination of air in the brake hydraulic lines when replacing the pads. This is sort of an Inverse bleeding process.

I have a Stripped hex screw on a brake caliper...How do I get it out???

I have a 1985 Cadillac Deville front disc brakes. While changing them I found out that the hex screw for the caliper is stripped. I tried just about everything. Any ideas or new options for me. The other side is done ready to go now I just need the passanger side. Thanks for all help.I have a Stripped hex screw on a brake caliper...How do I get it out???
You need a ease out parts store has them just tell him what has happen and he will get the right tool for you , You need to put pressure on it while you art turning, another is Clamp pliers if enough of the head is sticking out get a good bite on ti and turn slowly and put a little oil on it , hope this helpsI have a Stripped hex screw on a brake caliper...How do I get it out???
are the threads stripped?? or is the head stripped??I have a Stripped hex screw on a brake caliper...How do I get it out???
I'm not certain about Cadilacs, but alot of those clipers have Torqx Head screws, not Hex, if this is the case you coould have striped it trying to use a Hex. Anyway, you may need an extractor bit. the y have many different kinds, the best for you will be the kind that has wide reverse threads that set along the outside of the head and remove it like that.I have a Stripped hex screw on a brake caliper...How do I get it out???
There are special drill bits for that, but since you'll need to put another screw in afterwards, I would look for a replacement part from a car wrecker. ~I have a Stripped hex screw on a brake caliper...How do I get it out???
it should protrude enough for you to be able to get vice grips on it...but when you go back with it buy a new bolt...they have them at the auto parts store.



Been there done thatI have a Stripped hex screw on a brake caliper...How do I get it out???
If the head is stripped, use a screw extractor. You can buy them at any hardware store and you just drill a hole into the head an the screw extractor will thread in counterclockwise and lock to remove the screw.



If it is a protruding head screw use a pair of good vise grips.I have a Stripped hex screw on a brake caliper...How do I get it out???
I would weld a 1/4 inch nut on the hex screw and turn it out then replace with new. If you don't have access to a welder you could try JB Weld it is a 2 part epoxy that you could use to adhere a nut to the screw. In both cases be careful not to weld the screw to the caliper.

How do you bleed the brakes in a 1977 Motorhome / RV?

I have a 1977 GMC MIDAS motor-home, and I am having a hard time with the brakes. It has 4 disc brakes. I changed the front pads, and calipers on both sides. I tried bleeding the lines but the pedal is still really soft. I have to push the pedal all the way down until I feel brakes, and that's with new pads and calipers. The rotors do not looked warped. I read something about turning the wheel to both locks to engage the pump or something? I tried everything, I think it may have a brake power boost system. I did add brake fluid to the master cylinder because it went down after the bleeding process, which I hope was what I was supposed to add. Anyone have any ideas, or somewhere that the proper bleeding process is described for this vehicle?How do you bleed the brakes in a 1977 Motorhome / RV?
it still has air in the system



get a friend help you out

have him pump the break five times or more and tell him not to release and let his food press down on the break.

loosen the bleed valve on the caliper a quarter turn and tighten it once the fluids come out

repeat the process like three times or until no more bubbles come out of the bleed valve. do it in all four wheels,,





,*****watch out for the fluid level on the reservoir if it runs out while your still bleeding the system you're gonna have to start all over again*****





hope it helps

good luck

Disc brake for mountain bike?

i'm using a V-brake now

i usually cycle on road with my mountain bike

but although its on road, sometime it can be quite fast and when rain, its not good to use V-brake

so, do you think i should change to a disc brake?

and how much does a cheap disc brake cost?

tell me the price and the country currency please..

best if its in singapore dollar

thxsDisc brake for mountain bike?
Disc brakes are good for wet and especially muddy conditions. This is because the brake is not near the tyre and doesn.t get so much crud on the braking surface.



If you purchase the hydraulic type, you can enjoy the benefits of being able to apply greater force where it counts, meaning that you can brake later than you would have.



This comes at a cost, namely weight. It will also cost you about 拢100 per wheel for a reasonable system. But you can not fit them unless you have calliper mounting points on your frame and forks. Also, in order to fit the discs, you need disc compatible hubs.



Overall, discs are better than v brakes in wet conditions, especially wet xc. But if you don't have the hubs and frame, its going to cost you, you might want to consider a new bike, with discs. Giant do a reasonable machine for about 拢400.



LuckDisc brake for mountain bike?
cheapest disc brake would probably be about 50-100 in us dollars, good ones(hydraulix ones) are about 100-200, or even moreDisc brake for mountain bike?
I personally think that if you need to use a disk brake on the road, you are going too fast. You don't want to lock up brakes on pavement. It's not like offroad where dragging the wheel around a turn is a viable technique. Maybe you should slow down in the rain to be safe.Disc brake for mountain bike?
i have no idea how to convert to singapore dollars, but i'll start off telling you if you want disc brakes, you need a compatible fork and disc hub. then get the brake kit. there are 6-bolt mounts and Centerlock mounts (made by Shimano). if you want disc on the rear, you need to make sure your frame is disc compatible. i think the Tektro IO is a good entry level mechanical disc brake. i bought mine for US $50.

they will work so much better in the rain than rim brakes. if you ride in heavy rain or mud though, the pads will wear out much faster unless you get metallic pads. organic and resin pads wear out fast.Disc brake for mountain bike?
Disc breaks are inexpensive $30-$100. The pricey part is that your frame must be built for disc brakes. Most newer Mountain bikes are.

If you are going to continue riding an older bike I recomend the older Cantilever breaks. They are better than V-Breaks.

check out ebay.com and you can get some of those for $5 or $10

How to change rear plymouth grand voyager 99 brakes?

not sure if they are disk brakes, engine is 3,3L v6How to change rear plymouth grand voyager 99 brakes?
They are prob drum brakes. If you have not done brakes before (esp drum), have an experienced person help you.

Jack up and secure vehicle.

Back off adjusters from the backside of the drum. The adjusters are under the rubber plug. It might not be necessary if the drums aren't worn badly.

Remove tire and rim

Remove drum

screw in adjuster to compact it

Take a few pictures from different angles, noting spring mountings.

Remove springs (vise grips or spec tools) and shoes, noting that there is a longer and shorter shoe, and which one is to the rear and front. it matters.

Take pics of Ebrake fastening scheme.

Wash down with brake parts cleaner

Replace shoes and use NEW springs, etc (buy a spring kit when you buy your shoes).

Be sure Ebrake is fastened right

Put drum on again

put wheel on

adjust the adjuster with a special tool (or a screwdriver-that's what I use). Your object is to adj the shoes until they just barely drag against the drums while you spin the wheel. (you are in nuetral with wheels chocked, right?)



I may have missed something, but that is the basic idea- that's why I said to have an experienced person looking over your shoulder. Definately test drive with a few easy stops, and a few hard stops. If the drums heat up enough to hurt your hand, adj the shoes inward. They should stay cool to just warm.

Buy quality shoes from NAPA or a reputable parts place. Don't buy the AutoZone cheapies. Mid grade is fine, esp for the rear brakes, which last a long time.

You may have to adj the Ebrake cable, but it should be fine. The Ebrake should be noticably better (engaging sooner).



Good Luck!How to change rear plymouth grand voyager 99 brakes?
Stop by your local auto parts store and purchase a Haynes repair manual for your Voyager, it's full of good info for someone like yourself and will pay for itself with just one repair, in your case brakes. Good luck.

How to change brake shoes on a piaggio typhoon 125cc moped?

My rear brake is not at all strong and there is alot of freeplay on the left lever. I have tightened the brake wire under the engine case to the fullest and there is no difference, so im assuming its the brake shoes worn out. (Its not a disc brake its a drum brake)



To change the brake shoes what will i need to do. Will i need to loosen the wire, then change the shoes, then tighten the wire back up?How to change brake shoes on a piaggio typhoon 125cc moped?
contact me via my avitar...ill give you a link for a free manual download...How to change brake shoes on a piaggio typhoon 125cc moped?
slow down, you probably dont need new brakes, there adjuster you need to tighten is on the brake drum lever, its just a nut that is screwed onto the actuating rod, you will see its threaded for 2 or 3 inches, you should just need to screw it in, if its that loose, you will probably have to screw it further on quite a bit, like 1/2 to 1 cm.
