Where can I find a manual on how to change rotors on a Chrysler?

Changing rotors is pretty easy and fairly standard on all makes and models. You can search for it on the internet and I am sure you can find some steps with photos on how to do it.



It is pretty easy if you have the right tools, just remove the tire, use a socket to remove the caliper which holds the brake pads and then you slid or tap the worn rotor off.



However, if you are changing the rotor ensure you get new brake pads as the older pads even though look good may cause premature wear on you new rotor or warp it.



If you change the brake pads ensure you have a C-clamp to push in the piston(s) back into the caliper to place the pads into. Then just slip the caliper in place and tighten up the bolts holding the caliper in place. Pull off brake line to caliper and have someone pump the brake a few times till you see nice clean brake fluid. Replace the brake line and place on tire and you are basically good to go!Where can I find a manual on how to change rotors on a Chrysler?
Depending on the year you might find one at the local auto parts store. If an older model you may have to order one. If you plan on keeping it for a while ordering a Haynes or Chilton manual will pay off.Where can I find a manual on how to change rotors on a Chrysler?
