brake pad replacement SSANGYONG Musso Pickup

To replace the front and rear brake pads on a SsangYong Musso Pickup, here’s a general step-by-step guide:

1. Preparation:
- Safely jack up the vehicle and remove the wheels to access the brake calipers.
- Make sure the vehicle is secure on stands before starting work.

2. Removing the Caliper:
- Locate and remove the bolts holding the brake caliper to the mounting bracket.
- Carefully lift the caliper off the disc without damaging the brake line. Use a bungee cord or wire to hang it securely.

3. Removing Old Pads:
- Slide out the worn brake pads from the caliper bracket.
- Inspect the caliper piston and boots for damage; clean and lubricate the sliding pins if necessary.

4. Preparing for New Pads:
- Compress the caliper piston back into its bore using a suitable tool to create room for the new pads.
- Clean the caliper bracket and apply a thin layer of anti-seize or brake grease on the contact points.

5. Installing New Pads:
- Insert the new brake pads into place, ensuring correct orientation (outer and inner pads as indicated).
- Refit the caliper over the new pads and secure it back onto the bracket, tightening bolts to the manufacturer’s torque specification.

6. Repeat for Each Wheel:
- Complete the process for both front and rear wheels as required.

7. Final Steps:
- Pump the brake pedal several times after installation to set the pads against the discs.
- Check brake fluid level and top up if necessary.
- Test the brakes carefully at low speed to ensure proper function.

For the SsangYong Musso specifically, brake pads are typically sized roughly around 48-61mm in length and 117-158mm in width, with a thickness of about 14-18mm for the pads.
