Searched the forums but didn't see how to do this anywhere.
No problems doing the front pads, but....
I'm trying to replace the rear pads on my 93 w/auto transmission.
The FSM says to disable the automatic adjuster on the parking brake before removing the caliper to replace the pads.
I cannot find the pawl it refers to that needs to be pulled back away from the gear sector with a "hooked tool" or offset screwdriver. Also can't identify what hole to put the drift in to keep the pawl from engaging with the gear sector.
The photos in the FSM aren't clear enough for me to figure this out.
Also, I purchased the NAPA brake hardware kit. I comes with new boots and hex bolts. It appears the forward attaching bolt on the caliper is an allen head. Am I looking at the right thing?
All help is appreciated.
