• Q: How to replace the front brake pads on 2002 Cadillac Eldorado?

  A: Before starting this task you need to check the brake fluid level in themaster cylinder reservoir first. If it is above or below the middle point of itscaps, drain the fluid to match the middle line. Lift the vehicle and then take out the tire and wheel unit. Apply a big c-clamp to push the caliper piston into its housing so you can move the caliper past the rotor before taking off the clamp. Secure the brake caliper with strong mechanic's wire while you lift the caliper without disconnecting the hydraulic hose. Push the caliper piston completely in using a large c-clamp held against it by an old Brake Pad or wood block then take away both tools from caliper. Look at the Brake Pad retainers by taking off both brake pads from their positions in the caliper bracket. Look at and replace damaged suspension boots for caliper bolts and piston boots along with caliper pin bolts. Apply niglube(R)(R) grease to the front brake caliper pin bolts before placing both brake pads and retainer inside the caliper bracket. Place the caliper over the pads and fasten the bottomork brake caliper pin with 85 nm (63 ft. Lbs.) torque. Place the tire and wheel back in place while lowering the vehicle. With turned-off engine press Brake Pedal 2/3 of its travel and release it slowly. Operate the Brake Pedal gradually until it becomes firm which puts the caliper pistons and brake pads into their correct position. At the end fill the reservoir with brake fluid to its proper mark then run final adjustments on both pads and rotors.
