Difficulty: Beginner · About 60 min · Chrysler Voyager

Replace the front pads and rotors on a 2001–03 Chrysler Voyager, protecting the brake hose while servicing the caliper and bracket.

Steps

1. Raise the vehicle and remove the wheel

   Remove the center cap and loosen the lug nuts while the vehicle is on the ground. Raise and support it safely, then remove the wheel.

2. Remove the caliper and bracket

   Remove the caliper slider bolts and ease the piston inward slightly. Lift the caliper aside and secure it with a wire tie, then remove the bracket and pads.

3. Remove the rotor

   Slide the rotor off the hub. If it is stuck, tap it carefully with a mallet while avoiding the wheel studs and surrounding brake parts.

4. Install the new rotor

   Clean both sides of the replacement rotor and install it on the hub. Refit the bracket and tighten its bolts to the vehicle's specification.

5. Fit the pads and caliper

   Compress the caliper piston with a clamp and inspect its boot for damage. Seat the new pads in the bracket and reinstall the caliper and slider bolts to specification.

6. Reinstall the wheel and verify

   Mount the wheel, lower the vehicle, and torque the lug nuts to specification in a star pattern. Pump the pedal until firm and verify braking at low speed.

Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
