2005 T&C Front Disc Brake Replacement, glue?
Hi All,
I've changed front disc brakes before without any issue. I recently pull the front disc brakes on a 2005 Town & Country Minivan and found the outside pad glued to the caliper. It wasn't just "stuck" there from all the road grime it looked like it was glued. I gave it a few hits with the hammer and even tried using the C clamp to pull the brake pad off but it wouldn't budge. The inside pad came right out just like every other car I've ever worked on. I decided I better do some research before continuing and put everything back together. Anyone ever seen this? Can I just use a utility knife to cut the pad free? Do I need to re-apply glue before installing the new pad? Thanks in advance for any help! Mike mlhgods <A.T> hotmail <D.O.T> com |

Hit the pad with a small hammer and it will come off. Glenn |
