Installation of Powerstop Z26 rotors and brakes

[Schnecke]

Tools needed:
Rubber mallet, drift punch, channel locks (or something to grab the pins to get them out), jack stand & jack. 22mm socket (I used deep impact socket), breaker bar, and torque wrench. Will also need large screwdrivers to push break calipers back (or the proper tools if you have them) and a small screwdriver. And of course, a socket wrench.
Fronts : 16 mm socket, 13 mm socket, blue loctite.
Rears : 18 mm socket

Lessons learned : reuse the pins in the back, ones supplied are too short. Do not reuse the original brackets from brembo, use the ones provided or they will rub (especially the back). There's an o ring/seal that rides in a groove on the backs. It was dark and I didn't see it well. Rotors won't come off without it (pics 87, 89, and 90). The small screwdriver will get them out.

Good Luck out there!

Thanks for the documentation.

Which front rotors did yours have originally, the 1- or 2-piece? I suppose, that's if the 2-piece rotors were even an option for MY 2020. I've considered the changeover to at least the Powerstop pads for my 2021 which has the 2-piece front rotors.

Pretty sure it was 2 piece, but I don't 100% recall. I know I have 2 piece on my hellcat, I put the z26 pads on my hellcat and the z23 (with replacement rotors) on my wife's Durango

That should read Z26 on the Durango as well

I found the old rotors. They were one piece

Thanks. Just looking for information for when it comes time to replace the rotors as I see that just the discs themselves are expensive. I'll need to look at / for specs to see if a 1-piece rotor can replace the 2-piece, utilizing the existing caliper. I would like to think they would be similar in their specs.

Unless you are not doing crazy stuff the rotors should last a long time. My '01 Mustang had 76k and still had the stock pads and rotors when I sold it. I changed the pads on my Hellcat to the z26 with 8k on them, it has 23k on them now, rotors still look good

Centric part number: 226.63088 are one piece versions of their two piece clones (126.63088). They are specifically designed to replace the more expensive two piece fronts.

226.63088 run $50-$80.

Has anyone installed Z26-1405 and Z26-1053B pads on a 2023 DD392? I'm suspect the '23 is the same as the '22, just looking for a warm fuzzy. Thanks in advance. Cheers

I did on my 2019. Have optional Hellcat brakes on the front

Interesting, where might one locate more information concerning those Hellcat brake pads? Thanks
