They should go back into the same place in which they came out. You may want to see if the boot is missing on the other one. You can use the other side of the vehicle as a reference. Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
On GM brakes, I noticed that one of the caliper guide pins has a boot on it and the other pin does not. Does it matter which way they go back into the caliper?
Thank you for your videos Mr 1aauto sir. I have viewed many different vehicle maintenance videos & I must yours are the best….thanks again.
I’ve changed my front break pads on my Malibu a couple times on my own, but now its time for my rotors to be changed…this video makes it a LOT less daunting. thank you for the great tutorial!
Once the line in the middle of them (wear indicator) is gone, they should be replaced.
how wore down do my break pads need to be to replace them
You’re welcome Shane, thanks for watching. Have a great day! 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
Just finished the rotor and brake replacement with the parts purchased from the video. The most difficult thing I’ve done on a car before was probably replace the windshield wiper blades. This tutorial was extremely easy to follow, and the parts and tools ended up cheaper than if I had the work done professionally. THANK YOU!
HI Shane, You may want to check both the front and rear brake pads and rotors to see if they are worn,and need to be replaced.
About to pull the trigger on the parts, but I have a question. I hear grinding when I brake, but sometimes, even when I’m not braking, the grinding persists for a while. Is there something else I should be looking for? Or would replacing the parts resolve all the grinding noises I hear?
Thanks for watching. Have a great day! 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
I have the Actron 9580A scanner that will scan for ABC DTC codes for Asain vehicles, but I am told that ABS coverage for an Accord does not start until model year 1998 on the CP9580A. The ABS system software in previous years was not compatible with the tool hardware.
If there’s a light on in the dash you should be able to pull the codes with a scanner. Hope this helps you out.
How can I read the DTC codes for the ABS on a 1996 Honda Accord EX?
It may help to prevent them from sticking and wearing out the pads prematurely.
Do you have to lube up the Caliper Bolt Pins? That’s the only step I forgot.
You’re welcome. Have a great day! 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
my 03 malibu uses 12mm and 13mm sockets. This was excessively helpful. Thank you!
You may want to turn the wheel by hand on both sides to see if you can hear what’s rubbing. You also may want to check everything to see if all of the bolts are tight and that everything was put back together correctly.
I have an 2001 malibu that i changed the brakes on and now when i go 40mph and brake. the whole car shakes! Now theres a really loud rubbing sound you can hear from in the car. Barely go over 15mph you can hear the rubbing. Any ideas on what i can do about this problem?? Thanks.
You may want to try to bleed the brakes to see if that helps.
hello. i used this video to change my 01 chevy malibu brakes and rotors. When i was finished i test drove it and the brakes seemed to slightly have constant pressure. i drove the car for 10 miles and got out and i could smell the heat coming from my pads and my rims were warm and i could smell the heat coming from the brakes. any ideas? Could i have tightened the 12 mm bolts to tight?
It may not be that bad of a job depending on the extent of the damage. We do carry suspension parts on our website 1aauto.com 888-844-3393 FREE SHIPPING in the lower 48 states.
I was in a car accident and as result.to the accident my wheel is bent. Some one said that the rear a arm is bent ..can the be replaced easily
This video will show you how to replace the disk brakes on your 2002 Chevy Impala. We carry the replacement brake pads and rotors on our website 1aauto.com 888-844-3393 youtube.com/watch?v=-VjSDTCOaRE&feature=player_embedded#!
I have an 02 chevy Impala. I’m assuming those have the same parts/brake assembly, correct?
It should be the same. We carry the brake rotors and pads on our website 1aauto.com PART# 1ABFS00040 888-844-3393
I’ve got an 04 Grand Am, I need to replace the front pads and rotors. Is this the same for my model? Do I need to bleed the brakes or drain the brake fluid at all or is that not necessary for a pad/rotor change?
Unfortunately at this time we do not have a video for the rear brakes but we will keep this in mind for a video down the road.
do you have video of a 2007 chevy mailbu brake job?? and also the back drums as well??
We currently do not have a video that shows you how to repair the rear drum brakes on a 2000 grand am. If you have a Haynes manual for your vehicle it will show you how to repair them. We carry them on our website 1aauto.com Part# 1AMNL00013 or call sales @ 888-844-3393
Do you got a video on how to change the back drums on a 00 grand am
Thank you. Helped me out alot.
Good video
They’re not bad. It’s fairly simple. Just remember to pump the brake pedal when you’re done servicing the brakes before you move the vehicle. You’ll need to pump them about 10X until the pedal gets firm. Hope this helps you out.
Hi a have just ordered front and rear disc brakes for my car watch your video . is it easy to replace them it looks easy.
Why subject the master cylinder to air and dirt, why not just bleed the lines after every pad replacement
this was really helpful
Perfict. Thanks guys.
If you car has grease fittings on the ball joints or tie rod ends, usually it’s easier to get at them with the wheels off. On the pads themselves you could use some anti-squeak gel on the outside of the pads, to prevent them from squeaking. Hope this helps you out.
I have an 05 pontiac grand am se… i just want to know what parts should i lube before i install the brake pads??
it (the piston) will usually still move, because the cap has a vent, but you may possibly spill some fluid, which isn’t the best thing.
you want to make sure that the caliper piston is collapsed all of the way into the caliper. If it isn’t then it may make it difficult to get the new pads over the rotor.
The basics should be similar, but as far as unbolting the calipers, that process may be slightly different.
