How do you change the brake pads on a 1995 Buick Skylark?

Answer 1

95 Brake PadsMost disc pads change the same way, whether it's a Buick, Ford, Toyota ,Etc. 1st,block up car so you can get tire off.Find bolts that hold calipers on & remove.Take caliper and put somewhere as not to have a strain on brake line.I usually tie it up to coil spring with wire.Take outside pad out (sometimes they are held in place with clips). Open hood,remove lid on brake fluid reservoir. You will have to push cylinder back to where it goes,watch level of fluid-don't let it over flow.I use a 10.00 brake tool that makes this very easy. It just pushes on inside pad with a bolt . You can do the same thing with a C clamp or large pliers. Replace inside & outside pads with new ones (make sure you have right ones-they should look just like old ones - same shape, same size. Place caliper back over rotor,grease bolts with brake grease , insert where they belong & tighten. If you have a lot of brake dust you can spray off with brake cleaner(before new pads are installed.)Put tire back on and torque to spec's. Most tires that I've dealt with torque to 90-100 foot pounds.Do other wheel the same. Check fluid level, replace cap. Push on brake pedal to reset pads where they belong. Hope this helps. Its a lot harder telling someone how to do this than it is showing them.
