How do you replace the brake pads on a 1994 Corvette?

Answer 1

To change any type of brake, I usually take one side off. I don't recommend this if you are not willing to learn the hard way. Usually brakes are fairly easy to remove and replace, only if you have not worn them down to the metal. Most pads I have seen have rivots to keep them on. If you have worn the pads down to the rivots, then you may have to replace the drum or rotor. If you look at your wheel (rim) and it you can see thru it you should notice something shiny on the front indicating you have disc brakes, and you may be able to notice the pads. It may be a good idea to look at some brake parts from a local parts store for example Autozone, Napa Auto, ect. You can buy them then or just price check things and visually look at them so you know what to look for on your car. Ask them if your car should have Disk brakes on the front and what type of brakes (drum/disk) on the back. Alot of sports cars have All wheel disk brakes which means. All 4 wheels have disk brakes, oh and by the way you most definitely should take your front disks one from each side, to a place, (sometimes the parts store) where they can TURN them. You can also take the back disks also. The reason is to avoid any possible pulsating after you put new brake pads on. This thing called TURNING THE BRAKE DISKS helps keep an even surface for the new brake pads. I hope this information will help you somewhat. Good luck to you.
