does anybody here know how to change rotors and pads for 2003 cavalier?any help will be appreciated,thanxs!!=)
search next time
1) jack car up
2) remove tire
3) 3/8" allen key (2 bolts on the back of each caliper)
4) remove caliper
5) compress the caliper with the old pads still on (i find it easier this way and use a "C" clamp but they make tools for brakes)
6) remove old pads and replace with new ones
7) pull rotor off (nothing holds it on once you remove the caliper)
8) put new rotor on
9) put caliper back over new rotor
10) tighten the 2 bolts for the back of the caliper
11) put tire back on
12) lower the car
13) pump the brakes back up
if you dont remove any brake lines or open any then there is no need to bleed the brakes
rotor no bolts?so once i remove the caliper thats it?thanxs man,i'll try searching next time=)
no bolts for the rotor, once the caliper is off, the rotor will come off. if it doesnt, get something to hit it w/ because its probably stuck
Yeah. Should have mentioned that the Rotor, Caliper, and Drums (if doing the rear) will usually be stuck. Just make sure you have followed the directions, and have a large hammer near by. Try not to damage anything.
well if your replacing the rotors than you can beat the hell out of them for fun.
All hail bagged cavi, this guy is a pimp daddy. Saves me all the time lol
you forgot to mention to slide the caliper "sleves" where the bolt comes through back flush

Yeah and destroy the wheel bearings while you're at it.
If you pictures or more detailed instructions than we have provided, maybe you shouldn't be working on your brakes. There are 5 lug nuts, and 2 caliper bolts per wheel. There's really nothing to it.
^^ That's a good way to get kicked off the JBO.
piece of cake rotors came out like dick thats still in pussy!
