When I rotated the tyres on my old transport, I noticed that the front brake pads were worn to the point they needed to be replaced. A trip to one of the local automotive parts shops found a set of brake pads for $18.99 plus sales tax. I could have spent as much as $59.99 for a set available in the shop, or as much as $99.98 for a set they would order.
I have found that online demonstrations are becoming hard to find; they all seem to want to make you pay to access the online content, or buy and download a pdf or video. Therefore, I decided that I would take the time to photograph the procedure and write a short demonstration of replacing the brake pads on my 1993 Buick LeSabre.
The first step is to remove the wheel cover and loosen the lug nuts on the wheel. I find it easier to loosen the lug nuts with the wheel still on the ground. Remove some of the weight from the wheel by jacking up the car, but not enough to lift the wheel from the ground. I use a braker bar and socket with a short piece of steel pipe to make the job of loosening the lug nuts easier. Once the lug nuts are loose, finish jacking the car up until the wheel clears the ground. Place a jack stand under the vehicle in a secure position and let the jack down until the jack stand is bearing the weight of the vehicle. I also leave the jack under the vehicle as well. Never depend on just a jack for support while working on a vehicle, it is much too dangerous.
Once the wheel has been removed, we can proceed to remove the brake calliper from its mount. I like to take a hose and wash the brake dust away before removing the calliper. I advise again using compressed air as it will create a dust cloud that will take forever to settle. The bake calliper is usually held in place by two bolts with pins that allow the calliper to slide side to side a short distance. The bolts may be be torx or hex socket heads, or a hex head that will take a socket. In my case the bolts were hex socket heads. Screw the bolts out and remove them completely from the calliper for later inspection.
