you will get better results if you change both sides at same time. when changing calipers you can buy a set of balanced and calbrated calipers. this means that both calipers are matched and will perform evenly on both brakes.
You will need the tool to retract the calipers. The piston in the rear calipers have to be turned clockwise as you compress them back in.
This will greatly depend on what kind of brakes you have and which parts you are trying to replace. Do you have disc or drum brakes? If you have disc brakes, do you want to replace the calipers, pads, or rotors? If you have drum brakes, do you want to replace the drum, or the shoes?
The calipers are held by 17 mm bolts.
I had one do this and I had to change the brake calipers. Problem was gone.
Remove the wheel, the calipers and the rotors, reverse procedure with new rotors.
Be sure to change both front brake hoses. I didn't and my calipers would lock up.
not unless you want to change the rotors and calipers and a bunch of other stuff
The front brakes on the Windstar are disc brakes. The rear brakes are drum type. You need to know exactly which parts need to be changed and why. If it is just the pads its pretty easy to do. But if the rotors are bad too, you will need to remove the calipers to access them then re-install the calipers with new pads. If you are not sure what you are doing seek advice from a mechanic
You have to remove the calipers and brake pads to change the brakes on a Chevy Equinox. There's a how to video included below in the related links section that will show you how to change them.
My olds has 4 wheel disc brakes, and I had to buy a kit to change the rear pads. I'm not 100% sure about the pontiac, but Most GM rear calipers actually Screw back, unlike the front calipers, which merely push straight back. I got the kit at harbor frieght for around $40.
