How do you change brake pads 2001 Chevy car?

Answer 1

To begin, you'll need to use a tire iron to remove the nuts on each wheel. After doing so, lift up one side of the vehicle with a jack. Proceed to loosen the outer bolts and remove the inner bolts, allowing you to remove the assembly. Remove the bolts on the assembly and seperate the calipar and housing. Place a wooden block over the piston, then clamp the calipar over the piston and the housing. You'll then tighten the clamps and push the old brake pads out, removing any other clips in the process. Once that's done, clean the housing, insert the new clips, and then insert the brakepads. Repeat the previous steps in reverse to reassemble, and move on to the next section.
