  2. Park the vehicle on a level surface, shut down the engine, and set the parking brake. Chock the tires.
ย DANGER
  When working on the vehicle, shut down the engine, set the parking brake, and chock the tires. Before working under the vehicle, always place jack stands under the frame rails to ensure the vehicle cannot drop. Failure to follow these steps could result in serious personal injury or death.
  1. Raise the vehicle and support it on jack stands.
  2. Remove all of the wheel assemblies.
NOTE: In all steps that require a torque wrench, use a Snap On torque wrench ATECH4RS600, or an equivalent, with a center to handle length of 47 inches (119 cm).
  1. Set a torque wrench to 350 lbfยทft (475 Nยทm) and tighten the caliper mounting bolts. If they do not turn, go to step 13. If they turn, continue to step 6. Due to limited caliper bolt access, it may be necessary to use tool DDC DSNCHA018005 referenced in tool letter 18TL18. If the tool is needed, use tool DDC DSNCHA018005 only and no other tools. See Table 4 for torque specifications.
ย WARNING
  When replacing brake pads, shoes, rotors, or drums, always replace components as an axle set.
  • Always reline both sets of brakes on an axle at the same time.
  • Always replace both rotors/drums on an axle at the same time.
  • Always install the same type of linings/pads or drums/rotors on both axle ends of a single axle, and all four axle ends of a tandem axle, at the same time. Do not mix component types.
Failure to do so could cause uneven braking and loss of vehicle control, resulting in property damage, personal injury, or death.
  1. Remove the retainer pin, cotter pin, and brake pad retainer. Inspect the brake pad hardware to ensure it is in good condition. If it is, reuse the brake pad hardware. If the brake pad hardware is not in good condition, replace brake pad sets on both ends of the axle.
