Can i replace the front and rear pads on my ba mk2 like most normal disk brakes, or does it require special requirements because of abs and traction control?

Simply use the appropriate pads for your vehicle no special brakes needed. Do what I do and won't need to bleed I never have to bleed when I do disk. Remove caliber from disk. Remove pads from caliber. Use a c-clamp or a role back tool and push piston back into caliber. This pushes fluid back through lines to master cylinder. Other than that nothing special needs to be done

Replace front pinion

Are you referring to the rack and pinion steering assembly? If so, repairing or rebuilding this unit requires very specialized tools. Even auto repair shops do not fix these. We simply remove the defective unit and replace it with another good complete unit.
If you are asking how to replace this unit, that also requires special tools to remove the tie rods. You must also be very careful and know what you are doing or you can ruin the clock spring for the driver's side airbag. The shaft for the steering column is "phased" to the shaft on the pinion gear. You must be sure to keep the steering column and the new rack & pinion assembly in phase or you can do more damage to your truck. You will also need to take the truck to a shop for a front end alignment after you are done. If you think that you have the skills to handle this job, I would suggest you watch the videos I've linked. FYI, it will take a skilled mechanic with all the proper tools over 4 hours to do this job.

No-- I doubt you would have room & without seeing what
your referring to ,I think you need special tools to press
them out.

No one,absolutely no one would buy those tools

Maybe a dealer has something the manufacturer

How do I eplace the front rotors on a 1997 Mitsubishi Montero Sport 4wd? Is there a special tool required to remove and replace the rotor and is there an adjustment needed inside the hub?

jack up the car, first break lugs, and remove tire. There are two bolts on the front back side, if it like are endeavor then I compressed the caliper piston and then I had to take apart the caliper as the old pads did not come out, those are the two bolts on each end. then put back on. Once the caliper is off the rotor will come off as it is held on by the caliper. Just be careful with the caliper once it is removed as it is a brake line, you can use a hanger for it does not pull on the line when it is off the rotor. Good Luck Tim

1998 ford 4.0 sohc v6 explorer sport 4wd. 148000

hi, as far as i can remember its impossible to do the work without removing the whole lot as you just have not got enough room to get the tools in to get the job done, you could contact your nearest main dealers technical department but im pretty sure that the last one we did here we had to take the whole lot out as we could not get the tools in as their just isnt enough room they build these engine big enough to fill the engine bay leaving you no room to carry out these type of repairs so taking the engine out is the only way your going to get this work carried out.

Let me know how you get on or if you need further assistance ok.

Make sure you purchase a workshop manual as this will give you all the correct settings your going to need ok

Passat 2003 tdi, brake pad change..

Proper size wrenches and a large C-clamp to push piston back into the caliper is only tools for the front, but back disk brakes require special tool to TURN the piston as it is pushed back into caliper to reset emergency brake. This tool can often be borrowed from Auto parts store or purchased from Harbor Freight http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=40732 for about $20. Don't try to service rear disks without the tool, Calipers can be broken if not retracted properly!

Front brake rotor removal

Your rotors have an integrated hub with serviceable bearing.

Remove the six bolts around the center of the hub and pry off the grease cover.

behind it you will find a locking wheel with two philips screws holding it in position. Remove the screws and unscrew the locking wheel.

Behind is a large axle locknut that requires a special tool to remove. It has two small holes to grip with. Unscrew it and you will be able to remove the outer bearing, then slide the rotor off the spindle/axle.

From there you can unbolt the rotor disc from the hub backside, or replace the whole unit. Replacing the whole unit will require installing new bearings/races, however.

Either method will require repacking the bearings and loading the bearings with the special locknut tool.

Shock Absorber replacement 2002 Explorer Sport Trac

These are just regular shocks and not struts so they should come out with just common tools. You may need to soak the fasteners in penetrating oil for a while or, use heat tget the fasteners to break loose from the corrosion.

Torque wrench.
Set of sockets.
Loosen the front wheel nuts. Dont remove yet. (Wheelspanner needed)
Raise the front of the vehicle and support it on axle stands.(Jack and 2 axle stands)
Remove the front wheels.
Remove the caliper guide bolt caps(flat screwdriver or similar)
Remove the caliper guide bolts(Allen key/hex driver) Torque to 30 Nm(22lbf) on reassembly.
(On the left wheel disconnect the pad wear sensor.)
Pry out the anti rattle spring (flat screwdriver)
Pull the caliper from its mount. This may be difficult if there is a ridge on the rotor. Try twisting/pushing/pulling the caliper to force the piston back into the caliper. Do not use a hammer!
Hang the caliper off the coil spring with a piece of wire. You dont want it hanging by the brake hose.
Remove the pads.
Remove the brake pad carrier (Bolts on from the rear of the carrier) Torque to 110Nm(81lbf) on reassembly.
Remove the disc mounting screw(single screw that holds the disc to the hub)
Pull the disc off the hub.

It is possible to remove the whole caliper/pad carrier assembly in one piece but it makes reassembly a bit more tricky.
Discs should be replaced as a set of 2 at a time.(left and right)
Minimum disc thickness is 20.4mm(0.803")
When fitting a new disc and/or pads it will be nescesary to compress the caliper.
There are several special tools available for purchase. This link is my solution to an expensive tool when the piston wont go back by hand.
