• Q: How to replace the front brake pads on 2002 Chevrolet Camaro?

  A: Start by checking the front brake pads replacement process. Examine brake fluid level first; keep it in the middle if the reservoir shows this amount. Place the vehicle on jack stands and take off the tire assembly with the wheel attached to it. Thread on a wheel lug nut by hand to keep the rotor connected to the hub through the wheel stud. Position a big c-clamp over the brake caliper surface while placing one end against its rear part and pushing an old Brake Pad or wood block against the pistons before tightening until the pistons can move past the brake rotor. Pull out the c-clamp and unfasten the upper brake caliper guide pin bolt as you wire the caliper securely to shield the brake hose. Move the caliper forward by fastening a clip to the mount. Check both Brake Pad retainer positions and Brake Pad quality before removing them. Replace the slide boots if they show signs of damage during your examination. Put back the large c-clamp when the caliper pistons are fully compressed and take it out along with the previous Brake Pad or wood block. Fit Brake Pad retainers into position while placing the Brake Pad wear sensor correctly facing backward before running the brake rotor in its forward motion. Set the brake caliper into the bracket by lifting it and thread the upper guide pin bolt in. Hand-tighten the bolt with a torque value of 31 nm (23 ft. Lbs.). Lower the car and keep the engine off during installation. After setting the tire and wheel assembly, move the Brake Pedal slowly from zero to two-thirds of its range and release it steadily. Let the Brake Pedal stay engaged for 15 seconds followed by a release and repeat the process until the pedal feels firm which blocks the brake caliper pistons into position. After restoring the master cylinder reservoir reach its required mark the braking system needs to be gradually tested.
