IH: Wheels, Brakes & Tires - Sub-02T

The 74-77 76 pie slice caliper uses pads that are riveted to the backing plates.
Changing the brake pads means removing the rivets and pads and installing new rivets to hold the new pads.

There are several ways to replace the pads. The rebuild kit contains the pads and rivets needed.
One way is to take them to an auto brake shop that does it's own riveting and/or bonding and have the pad riveted or even bonded to the backing plates. ¹⁾

If you want to replace the pads yourself, it's best to have the right tools to install the rivets so you don't split the rivets.
A riveting press is generally used at an auto brake shop. You can buy a portable brake rivet tool that reduces the chance of cracking not only the rivet but also of the lining material. ²⁾ It also helps avoid the costly warping of brake assembly back plates and pressure plates, often associated with using the hammer type method. Or you can use the hammer and punch method.

If using the hammer and punch method; ³⁾
Clamp a piece of round bar upright in the vise, just the right size to fit in the recess in the pad and hold the head of the rivet.
Push rivets through the pad and through the backing plate.
Hold pad and plate in position on the round bar in the vise.
Flare the end of the rivet with a large center punch hit with a hammer.
Try not to pound on it too hard or the rivet can split.
