- To perform the removal and replacement procedure correctly, you will need the following tools: a cross-head wrench, a jack and its supports, a socket wrench, a C-press, brake pad grease, and of course, the new brake pads.

Chrysler 300 Front Brake Pad Removal (EXCEPT SRT8)
NOTE: Removal process is the same for both sides of the vehicle.
1. Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to HOISTING, STANDARD PROCEDURE
2. Remove the tire and wheel assembly. Refer to REMOVAL.
NOTE: In some cases, it may be necessary to retract the caliper piston in its bore a small amount in order to provide sufficient clearance between shoes and rotor to easily remove caliper from knuckle. This can usually be accomplished before guide pin bolts are removed by grasping the rear of the caliper and pulling outward working with guide pins, thus retracting the piston. Never push on the piston directly as it may get damaged.
3. Remove the two brake caliper guide pin bolts (4).
4. Remove the brake caliper (6) from the brake caliper adapter bracket (3) and position it aside
NOTE: Use care when installing the caliper onto the adapter bracket to avoid damaging the guide pin boot.
5. Remove the brake pads (1) from the caliper adapter.
6. If necessary, remove anti-rattle clips (2) from upper and lower abutments of the adapter.

2017 Chrysler front brake pad with SRT8
NOTE: Removal process is the same for both sides of the vehicle.
NOTE: Six piston calipers shown in illustration, four piston calipers similar.
1. Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to HOISTING, STANDARD PROCEDURE.
2. Remove the tire and wheel assembly. Refer to
3. Using hammer and pin punch on the outboard end, remove the lower brake pad support pin (4) out of the caliper.
4. Remove brake pad spring clip (1) out from under the upper support pin (4) still in the caliper.
5. Using hammer and pin punch on the outboard end, remove the upper brake pad support pin (4) out of the caliper.
6. If equipped, remove the brake caliper center support bolt (2)
CAUTION: When pushing pistons back into caliper bores, if hand pressure is not sufficient, use only a trim stick as shown in illustration or other suitable soft tool to do so. Never use a screwdriver or other metal pry bar due to potential damage to the braking surface of rotor or pads.
7. Using hand pressure, pull pads back to seat caliper pistons into bores if possible. If not possible, perform the following to do this correctly without damaging the caliper, pistons, dust boots or brake rotor disc.
Place trim stick (3) between inboard brake pad and outer edge of rotor (1).
Using trim stick (3), apply pressure against the inboard brake pad until both pistons are completely bottomed in bores of inboard caliper half. Leave trim sticks in place to hold pistons in place.
Place the second trim stick between the outboard brake pad and rotor, then repeat the above step on the outboard pad and pistons.
- Remove the brake pads (3) through the opening in the caliper.
- Once brake pads are removed from the caliper, inspect all four caliper pistons and dust boots for evidence of brake fluid leakage. Also inspect dust boots on all caliper pistons for any cuts, tears or heat cracks and brake pad supports (if equipped) for excess wear or damage. If the caliper fails inspection, it should be replaced.
As final recommendations, we can highlight that performing the necessary and regular maintenance on your Chrysler 300, year 2017 is important to prevent the brake pads from wearing out faster than normal or suffering alternating damage due to other damage to nearby parts. In addition, we will always recommend the advice and assistance of high-end professionals.
