so i needed new brake pads on the rear of my car. on one side the brakes taht i changed were still like new., but i went ahead and changed taht one no problem at all. but when i got to the side i knew needed the brakes, i went to get the bolt off to move the caliper, and the bolt snapped.
 so i went ahead and changed teh pads and they were down to the metal...  this confused me b/c the other side were perfect, and these seemed like they were the originals. the pads were different in name and style. and they were diff colors. so now the bolt hole needs to be drilled and a new bolt put in. so i now have new pads, the roatrs are still good. and my caliper needs to be repaired, but it isnt moving so i know i can drive iwth it for a little while

Are they difficult to change. hope you fix your prob. do post pics... basically. i dont have anypics. i could take some tomorro and kinda do a re do. i didnt think there was a how-to on this. its not difficult at all. there is one bold, and the other is a plug like thing. when looking at the caliper, there will be a =one bolt on the backside that needs to be removed. once that is removed, just pull up on the caliper and the entire thing twist up. after that just pull off the brake pads and replace. if you would like i can do a detailed write-up with pics tomorro. or if you have any specific questions let me know and ill help my best |
