So this certainly is not the first brake pad install thread, but what the heck...
So here is what a 4x4 looks like with the caliper off (not different than a 4x2).
The clean area is grooved about 1/16" deeper than the rust. Nice.
Here is what you will find behind the rotor.
This is the new rotor (dba 4000 series) and the new pads (Akebono ProACT)
This is a comparison of the old to the new. You can see that the new ones are a little thicker, maybe 1/8", but it is hard to tell with the rust being raised on the old one.
And this is the final result!
Probably don't need to be that generous with the CRC goo, but I don't want them to squeak.
:rockon
Oh, sorry if the photos are giant. :lol:
