Hey guys,
I just tried to swap out my rear break pads on my '99 GT. I removed the only bolt on the caliper and from what I've read from other threads the caliper was just supposed to swing up but it didn't even with a considerable amount of force. What am I doing wrong? |

Yeah it was just really stuck. A hammer and screwdriver did the trick. Thanks for giving me the confidence to use a lot of force. Five years in Dayton, OH with the salty roads in the winter really does a number on your undercarriage.
Sad thing was that my Haynes manual said there were two bolts on the rear calipers when there is only one. Also, the passenger side pads were down to almost nothing but the driver side was still useable but I changed them anyways. Is that because that's where the e-break is? If it is I didn't see it, but then again I don't really know what I'm looking for. As you can tell I'm a total noob on this kind of thing. If anyone needs to do the same thing don't forget a c-clamp. Can't do this without one. |
