Brake relacement

[dragan54]

Had tires rotated and shop said my back brkes were really bad. Got replacements and pulled off the rears. Strange the cylinder side was a lor less worn than the outside. The front brakes look like they are only worn about 25 maybe 50%. Does that sound rght for a 04 2500 4x4?



Thanks

It sounds like the calipers are sticking and not sliding properly "causing brakes to stick and not release". Make sure that you clean the mountingslides and properly lubricate if required.

There are several posts about inspection of the boots around the piston and caliper assembly and bleeding... . if you can't find them let me know and I'll post the procedure...

Do not just compress the piston and push the fluid back to the master cylinder...

Already did just that on three of the brakes. How else will you get the piston back to put the shoes on?

Open the bleeder before compressing the piston back into it's bore.
