## 1. How Does Brake Pad 29087 Installation Work?

### What are Brake Pads?

Brake pads are crucial components of a vehicle's braking system. They apply pressure and friction to the brake rotors, which in turn, slow down and stop the vehicle. Proper installation and maintenance of brake pads ensure safe and effective braking performance.

### What Tools Are Required for Brake Pad Installation?

1. **Jack and Jack Stands**: To lift and support the vehicle.

2. **Lug Wrench**: For removing the wheel nuts.

3. **Socket Set**: To handle various bolts and nuts.

4. **C-Clamp**: To compress the caliper piston.

5. **Brake Fluid**: Sometimes required to top off the master cylinder.

6. **Warrior Grease**: To reduce noise and ensure smooth operation.

### Steps to Install Brake Pad 29087.

#### 1. Preparation.

- **Park the Vehicle on a Flat Surface**: Ensure the car is parked on a stable and level area.

- **Engage Parking Brake**: This prevents the car from moving.

#### 2. Lifting the Vehicle.

- **Use the Jack**: Lift the car at the specific lifting points mentioned in the manual.

#### 3. Removing the Wheel.

- **Fully Remove Lug Nuts**: Now that the car is lifted and secure, remove the lug nuts completely.

- **Take Off the Wheel**: Carefully remove the wheel to expose the brake components.

#### 4. Disassemble the Brake Caliper.

- **Access the Brake Caliper**: Locate the caliper bolts on the back of the caliper.

- **Remove Bolts Using Socket Set**: Unscrew these bolts to release the caliper.

- **Slide Caliper Off Rotor**: Take care not to damage the brake hose.

#### 5. Remove Old Brake Pads.

- **Release Retaining Clips**: Some brake pads are held in place by clips that need to be removed.

- **Slide Out Old Brake Pads**: Carefully pull out the old brake pads from their slots.

#### 6. Prepare for New Brake Pads.

- **Compress the Caliper Piston**: Use a C-clamp to push the caliper piston back to allow space for the new thicker brake pads.

- **Apply Grease to Contact Points**: Apply a thin layer of warrior grease to the points where the brake pads touch the caliper.

#### 7. Install New Brake Pads 29087.

- **Position New Pads in Bracket**: Insert the new brake pads 29087 into the slots in the caliper bracket.

#### 8. Reassemble the Brake Caliper.

- **Position Caliper Over Rotor**: Slide the caliper back over the brake rotor, ensuring the new pads stay in place.

- **Tighten Caliper Bolts**: Use the socket set to secure the caliper bolts tightly.

#### 9. Reinstall the Wheel.

- **Align Wheel on Hub**: Place the wheel back onto the hub.

- **Hand-Tighten Lug Nuts**: Start threading the lug nuts by hand to avoid cross-threading.

#### 10. Lower the Vehicle.

- **Remove Jack Stands**: Carefully remove the jack stands.

- **Lower the Car**: Slowly lower the vehicle back to the ground using the jack.

- **Tighten Lug Nuts Properly**: Use the lug wrench to fully tighten each lug nut in a criss-cross pattern to ensure even tightening.

#### 11. Final Check.

- **Check Brake Fluid**: Top off the master cylinder with brake fluid if necessary.

- **Test Brakes**: Before driving, pump the brakes a few times to ensure the brake pads are properly seated and functioning.

### Safety Tips.

- Always refer to the vehicle’s manual for specific instructions.

- Wear safety goggles and gloves to protect yourself.
