How do you replace brake pads on a 2002 Pontiac Grand Am GT?

Answer:

Answer

Changing the brake pads on the grand am gt requires the removal of the wheel. Once the wheel is removed, you will need to use a 1/2" impact socket to unscrew the bolts located behind the caliper (what holds the brake pads). There are two of these bolts to remove. Once those are unscrewed, remove the caliper and let it hang from the brake line. From here you can take out the brake pads, and the rotor as well if you need to change those. The brake pads can be replaced in the same configuration as the ones already in there. To put the caliper back over the rotor, you will need to pushe the hydraulic cylinders back to allow room for the unit to slip onto the rotor. This can be done with a scissor-like tool you can get at a car parts store. -Zim
