HOW DO I CHANGE THE BREAKS?
Saturday, September 03, 2005 8:26 PM
I'm driving a 2004 cavalier. The breaks are still stock and beginning to squeak a little. I would like to know if any one knows how to change the breaks in this car, or can recomend a book/website that will help me. Thanks so much!

its easy. take the tire off. on the back side of the caliper there are 2 3/8 allen key bolts. loosen them and slide the caliper off. i suggest a brake tool since it makes it easier to spread the pads back apart. leave the old pads in and compress the caliper back. remove the pads and put in the new ones. put the caliper back on and tighten up the 2 bolts. put the wheel back on and then get in the car and pump the brake about 2-3 times until its stiff again.
