Brake Pad: Service and Repair
Brake Pad Replacement (Delco 3486)
REMOVAL PROCEDURE
The use of GM brake pad material will help to maintain a balance between the front and the rear brake performance. In addition, the use of GM brake
pad material will provide the proper brake balance for the purposes of stopping distance and control over the full range of operating conditions. The
installation of any front brake pads or rear brake shoe material with a performance different from that of the suggested GM replacement parts for this
vehicle may change the intended brake balance of this vehicle.
1. Remove the front brake caliper from the front brake rotor. Refer to Brake Caliper Replacement in Disc Brakes.
2. Remove the front outboard brake pad. Use a screwdriver to disengage the bottoms on the front brake pad from the holes in the front brake caliper
housing.
3. Remove the front inboard brake pad.
4. Replace any corroded caliper bolts, bushings, or sleeves. Do not attempt to polish away any corrosion.
5. Replace any nicked or cut caliper bolt bushings or seals.
