How do i remove the front brake disk on a 96 pajero

Hi, if it is a series III model V60/V70 then the original size is 265/70x16inch, alternative is 235/70x16 inch for winter tyres.
The series IV models from 2007 onwards have larger front brake calipers and need a 17" rim at least (series equipment is 18" rims)

probably you fouled the wires going to the ABS sensor at the front wheel hub. it has a connector, maybe it got separated. hope this helps

Do we take it that you want to replace the front crank seal?
If so it will almost certainly require that you drain the cooling system and remove the rad and surrounding cowl. The nut in the centre of the pulley is usually very tight and will likely require a 3/4 drive socket to free it. You will have to remove all the drive belts on the pulley and then remove the pulley. If its a manual trans then select top gear, have an assistant stand on the brakes while you undo the crank bolt. An auto is more difficult. If you have sufficient access then use an airwrench to loosen the bolt. Remove the pulley, pry the seal out, clean up, fit the new seal carefully to ensure its squarely seated in the housing, grease the seal edge and replace everything removed. The only thing you will need ideally is the torque figure for the crank bolt but you will get some idea when removing it. You could always mark the bolt head and the pulley face and retighten to the same position.

Try this:

Could have air in the brake lines, low brake fluid level, leaking wheel cylinder. If your brake reservoir is full and has fluid, have the brakes bled of air in the system. Have brakes checked by a respectable professional before you have an accident.

wd diff lock only locks the front to rear diffs not the 2 wheels on the same diff. To have both front wheels driving as you require will need limited slip diff in front or locker in front Be hard to steer in tight areas but they are available.

after you jack it up and remove the tire you then need to remove the caliper and brakes. then the rotor should just slide off sometimes it may need just a slight bump with a hammer on the backside

here is procedure

1. Position lug bolt (1107) to clear front wheel knuckle (3K185).
   

1. Remove lug bolt from wheel hub (1104).
   
   
   
   

Installation

1. Install lug bolt into wheel hub.
   

1. Using a lug nut (1012), seat wheel hub bolt into wheel hub.
   

1. Install front disc brake rotor and disc brake caliper. Refer to Section 06-03 .
   

1. Install wheel and tire assembly. Tighten lug nut to 115-142Nm (85-104 lb-ft).
   

Drum brakes shoes ALWAYS go on small shoe in the FRONT, Large shoe in the BACK. You check the work done on your car, good thing! The side put on incorrectly will wear out early. The rear shoe does most of the stopping, that's why it's bigger. I know which way they go because I screwed up my 1st brake job MANY years ago! countrycurt0
