This procedure applies to both the front and rear disc brakes. To begin, remove the cap(s) from the brake fluid reservoir and siphon off about two-thirds of the fluid to prevent overflow. Next, loosen the wheel lug nuts, raise the vehicle and support it securely on jack stands. Remove the front wheels and inspect the brake disc. If machining is necessary, remove the disc and the Brake Pad Set from the calipers. Use a large C-clamp to push the caliper piston into the bore for new, thicker pads. For 1979 through 1981 models, remove the retaining clip and guide plate, suspend the caliper, remove the anti-squeal springs and pads, and coat the guide plates with brake caliper grease before reassembly. Transfer any wear indicators from the old pads to the new ones. Rear brakes on 1979 through 1981 models require a special tool to retract the caliper piston. After retracting the piston, reinstall the caliper and tighten the mounting bolt(s). Coat the caliper guide plates with high-temperature caliper grease for 1981 and earlier models. Finally, depress the brake pedal to bring the pads into contact with the discs, check the brake fluid level, inspect for leaks, and test the brakes before normal use.
