Rear brake pads on a cavalier L reg?

knock the pins out with a sutiable drift, use a lever to remove the old pads and then you need to slowly push the pistons back into the caliper.



clean up the area if its rusty etc, try a new pad you may have to file the new pad top and bottom to create a nice fit, when your happy put some copper grease on the backplate of the pad insert them and replace the pins.



slowly press the brake pedal until it becomes firm, repeat for other side.



if your not at all confident get a mechanic to do the job, this is your brakes after all.Rear brake pads on a cavalier L reg?
there should be 2 bolts holding the brake calipers in place, remove the bolts, then remove the caliper. that will allow access to the brake pads. you will need to compress the piston back into the caliper or it will not go back on with new pads on it. If you don't have the proper tools take it to someone that does and let them do it, you don't want to mess up your brakes.Rear brake pads on a cavalier L reg?
Take the advice of the fist poster, get a garage to do this.Rear brake pads on a cavalier L reg?
But a Haynes manual for the car. They are about 拢12 from Halfords and are a sound investment as they give you step by step instructions on how to do all types of car servicing and repair with pictures and diagrams.Rear brake pads on a cavalier L reg?
its very easy when you no how, But when you get the Calliper off you wind it back in and Not Push, so will need a tool to fit the groves....all you need to do is look for the bolts and the pins,and put them back in the same place....
