Generally for any car you will need your jack and tire iron, you will probably also need a 10mm open end wrench or socket, I can't remember the name of the other tool commonly needed, a star bit is what I have known them as, it may be needed, a large one. You may want to use a flat head screwdriver to pop off the old pads, and will need a c-clamp. The c-clamp is used with one of the old pads to push the brake cylinder(s) back to the down position. That should be all the tools you need, I have never worked on a Bonneville but this seems to be the make-up of Pontiacs. I hope I have been of some help
Just did front brakes on a 94 Bonneville. You NEED a 3/8 Allen/socket...They are hard to find but a regular Allen wrench is NOT long enough. These fit on a 3/8 socket wrench and it is HARD to brake them. Drivers side goes up. I just replaced the caliper on this car. This will be the only time you use this socket for sure.
is your e-brake on?
One lifts the car on a car jack, removes the tires, remove the brake shoe, remove and replace the brake pad. Then one has to replace the brake shoe in the correct position, then put the tired back on the car.
THERE ARE A LOT OF DIFFERENT REAR BREAKS FOR BOONEVILLES AS WELL AS ALL OTHER CARS CALL ME FOR ADVICE OR USE A LOCAL MECHANIC THANKS BOON
how do you change a brake booster valve to a 1998 Pontiac transport
5/16 wrench for the calliper and a 9/16 wrench for frame side.
I had this problem on a 94 Bonneville after we had fixed the brakes. After I disconnected the battery and reconnected the light went off and the dinging stopped. Not sure if this was related or just coincidence.
The fuse box for the 1986 Bonneville is under the dashboard. The box has a small cover over it and you'll see it if you look just above the brake pedal and a little to the left.
under the radiator on the drivers side you have to remove the splash pan to see it not fun to get to and it drains all over things
Buy the Haynes or Chiltons book!
Remove the 2006 Pontiac Montana wheel and tire. Remove the brake pad Springs. The brake pads will come off. Reverse the process to install the new brake pads.
how to change the master cylinder without taking it to a shop
Under the hood, front driver's side of the engine compartment. Follow the brake lines from the master cylinder they lead to the ABS.
