2004 Oldsmobile Alero brake pad replacement

2012-07-23
all right so here we are a change in the back brakes an Ultima bill Alero we already have the tire off and the brake pads out my buddy's going to go grab the pads right now so I'm going to explain how to do it once the tire is off pretty self-explanatory is take off all those nuts um the brake pads sit right in here on the inside of the caliper it's pretty simply just take off these back two bolts I believe was a fifths a fifteen millimeter and that's the only thing you have to take off then the pad itself just pops off on this end and this end on the other side you just make sure that when you take off the caliper it's supported you don't want to just let it hang there on that land that's up here on your brake lines so once we have the new pads we just pop them back in place fit the caliper on top you prone you to compress that piston right there you need to get a big C clamp or just a massive pair of pliers and just kind of just pinch it tight and that's that's how you fit because the new pads are going to be thicker than the old pads once that's done you just put the tire back on you're good to go you can just kind of see right here how the brake pads are wearing the wrong way it should wear evenly so it shines up the whole rotor instead of just the two parts right here so those brake pads are bad so that's how you do it
