Replacing Front Brake Discs and Pads with Calipers

Model: RAM 2500 DC, MK 3, D1, DR, DH, DM - Years 2002-2009
Part: Brake rotors

Once the vehicle is lifted on the lift or on suitable jack stands, remove the front wheel; then unscrew the caliper mounting bolts from the bracket, and use a lever between the pads to separate them enough to extract the caliper. Next, remove the old pads and detach the caliper bracket; at this point, you can also remove the disc from the hub and, after cleaning it, install the new disc by holding it in place with a nut. Then proceed to install the new bracket complete with pads and then the new caliper, to which you will connect the brake line. Finally, bleed the system to remove any air bubbles.

How to Replace the Brake Pads on a BMW X3

For this operation, you will need to remove the wheel where you will perform the replacement, so it will be convenient to lift your vehicle and place it on jack stands; this way, you will work much more comfortably. To remove the spring that holds the front pads, use a flathead screwdriver. Now, unscrew the bolts that secure the piston to the pads, then remove it, giving you access to both pads that brake the rotor. Of course, repeat the same steps on the other side if the same replacements are needed.
