Rod, It is posted somewhare her on T/T but I will elaborate:

The caliper(s) are a two piece configuration.

The outer half can be remove with dismounting the inner half.

There are 2 bolts (use 1/2" box wrench) and remove the bolts.

Remove the outer half, remove the brake pad, remove the rotor and remove the inner pad.

In stall in reverse and make sure pads are properly oriented.

Before tightening the bolts, make sure there is adequate space in the reservoir for the displaced fluid.

Slowly and evenly tighten the bolts.

Rod, A brief history behind this next post.

Lehman had its axle shaft made and assembled overseas and then the were supplied to another vendor for building the rear axles. Whether knowingly or un-knowingly, the axle used CHINESE axle bearings and sent them assembled on the axle. Between 2005-2009, it was discovered that there was a significant number of bearing failures. At first Lehman thought the axle housing assembly may have been out of alignment, but it turned out that the CHINESE were not providing enough grease (some not at all) in their self-lubricated bearings.

The reason I bring this forward is because of the issue we discussed last night on the phone. That pulsation may be a bad axle bearing, and that needs to be examined closely. You would need to remove the brake assembly as previously posted including the rotor (preferably both sides) and check for any and all axle moved (up-down, in-out rotate for noise).

I stopped using the CHINESE bearings almost 10 year ago and have never had a failure from a Japanese TOYO or TIMKEN. And if you determine a bad bearing, replace them both and include new seals.

I will leave a message on you phone to alert you to this post too.

Thank you Jim, you have any part numbers for bearings?

My bearing part number is GB1001 and the seal is a GS1052.

I have FORD 207HL-KK made in USA has steel seals and National seals made in USA.

The FORD bearing was the same one that Lehman used until 1999.
