Brake Replacement from Service Manual.jpg
Excerpt from the Service Manual. Click on it to read the actual text. It states " ... Always replace the Shims together with the Shim Covers when replacing the Brake Pads..."
I'm about to have the Front Brakes replaced together with the Rotors. Going with Hawk HPS Pads and Hawk Talon Rotors.... I am looking into replacing the Shims and "Shim Covers" as well.
