I'm changing out my brake pads right now and want to make sure I'm doing it correctly.

I pulled this pin out, and now I think I need to push this rod (arrow) thru to the other side to get the pad out? The rod isn't moving, anyone know the best way to push it thru?

Do I need to take the caliper of the rotor? Pads look like the can slide thru the slot on top of the caliper.

Be back in a few minutes to see what people think. Thanks in advance

 

I figured it out.

 

you did take the caliper off correct, in the long run

 

If i remember correctly, there should be two pins per rod, one on each ends. The rod itself should be able to slide out towards you, away from the car.

 

oops, nevermind...didn't see that post
