∙ 15y agoThe rear brake pads on a 2002 Saturn L100 are much more difficult than "normal" disc brakes. You remove 2 pins and the pads will slide out the open end of the caliper. Retracting the caliper pistons is the difficult part. The caliper is hard lined for the brake fluid instead of having a rubber line. This necessitates the removal of the brake line so it doesn't become kinked or weakened from bending. The caliper can not be removed from the caliper bracket with out loosing brake fluid due to the flawed design. Perhaps there is a special tool that retracts the pistons without removing the caliper but there is a build up of dirt & rust that cannot be cleaned out and must be removed in order to allow the new, thicker, pads to be installed.
