How to replace brake pads on 1995 Monte Carlo?

Answer 1

the book says to disconnect the neg. on the battery. drain brake fluid from the reservoir with a clean syringe. raise and support the vehicle. mark at least one stud and hole on the rim so you put the rim back on the same way. remove the tire and wheel assembly. remove the caliper: using a large C-clamp put it over the caliper so it is on the caliper housing and the other end is on the outside brake pad. Slowly tighten the C-clamp until the pistons are pushed into the caliper bore enough to slide the caliper off the rotor. using the proper wrench remove the caliper mounting bolts then pull the caliper from the mounting bracket and rotor. use a coat hanger to hang the caliper from the strut. Dont let it hang by the brake line. inspect your rotor for any grooves if need to have it resurfaced. remove the outboard shoe by using a prybar to lift the retaining spring so it will clear the lug. remove the inboard pad by unsnapping the pad from the caliper pistons. to install repeat steps in reverse order. and fill master cylinder.
