What tools are required for changing front pads?
Thursday, April 20, 2006 7:50 PM
I have done the pads on the cavi before but its been a while and i have since moved out so I gotta go buy some tools. Anyone know of a how-to that has the tools required? It will make it a lot easier then me taking the wheel off and figuring it out myself. Its a 2001 z24 if it makes a diff.

Thanks a bunch its really appreciated.

Chris

basic socket set
3/8 Allen head socket
and i think a torque wrench
grab a book too while your at it, think of it as a tool as well and a good investment

Don't forget a C-Clamp

Doh!!! Now how could I go an forget that. You use the C-Clamp to push the caliper piston back into caliper, so the new pad will fit.
