How do you replace rear brake pads 2001 buick regal?

Answer 1

number 1 jack up rear of car and put safety stands under. their are 2 bolts that hold the caliper on. take 2 bolts out and you can lift the caliper off the rotor. discard old brake pads and you have to push the piston back in the caliper. you will need to open the bleeder screw on the caliper. in order to push the piston back you will need vise grip pliers. after you push the piston back close bleeder screw. install new brake pads and put caliper back on with the 2 screws or bolts. after you install the pads and caliper check the brake fluid resivor and fill to full line. pump brake pedal several times. if you have a hard and high pedal your done. if the pedal is low you have to bleed the rear calipers starting with the right rear first then the left rear. you can bleed them by opening the bleeder screw on the right rear and pump the brake pedal slowly 3 or 4 times. then tighten the bleeder screw. pump the pedal again 3 or 4 times and check the fluid. then do the same to the left rear caliper in the same order.
