How big are the front rotors on a sprinter?
How big are the front rotors on a sprinter?
The front rotor specifications are the same for the SRW and DRW. On DRW models, adapter flange has to be removed to service the rotors. The flange bolts have a torque specification of 133 ft/lbs for first-generation and 144 ft/lbs for second-generation Sprinters.
Do you have to change brake pads on sprinter?
The majority of Sprinters are used in the city, and noise and harshness are major considerations for the engineering of these pads. Ask your parts supplier if they stock a line of fleet brake pads with an application-specific pad for the Sprinter. The Sprinter has wear sensors on the in-board pad. The sensors must be replaced if the light is on.
What’s the best way to remove brake rotors?
If brake cleaner and some elbow grease doesn’t do the trick, remove the rotors (if the caliper assembly and bracket are removed, this may be as simple as using an impact screwdriver to loosen an anchor screw (not present on all vehicles), and then sliding the rotor off the lugs.
What causes brake wear on a Sprinter van?
This usually results in front brake wear. In TSB 08-028-06 for first-generation Sprinters, Chrysler states that a burned out or incorrect type brake light bulb could result in unrelated DTCs in the ECM or ABS/ESP control module.
Can a disc brake pad be replaced on a sprinter?
The replacement of disc brake pads on the Sprinter whether front or back is a straight forward operation and can be completed quite quickly. For the purpose of this posting I will outline the replacement of the rear brake pads.
The front rotor specifications are the same for the SRW and DRW. On DRW models, adapter flange has to be removed to service the rotors. The flange bolts have a torque specification of 133 ft/lbs for first-generation and 144 ft/lbs for second-generation Sprinters.
How does the brake system work on a Sprinter van?
The system uses dynamic brake proportioning and an ABS hydraulic control unit to change brake pressures in both the front and rear. This system eliminates the need for proportioning or load-sensing valves. If the system is not working, it will cause the system to go into a default mode where the values are fixed.
What kind of caliper do I need for sprinter?
(Min Thickness on Mk1 Sprinter Rear Disc 14mm) This is best done using a Micrometer or Vernier Caliper. If worn below specification, replace the disc/hub assembly at your earliest convenience.
