2004 Chevrolet Aveo Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the front brake pads on 2004 Chevrolet Aveo?

  A: To start pad replacement work, set the vehicle properly off the ground. Record the wheel position within the hub to keep the wheel balanced before taking off the front wheel. It is possible to work on the brake shoes without taking the caliper apart by removing the lower bolt of the caliper assembly retaining frame. Holding brake dust at bay pull up the Piston housing and take off the brake pads according to safety protocols. Take the lining thickness measurement to prepare new brake pads for the caliper installation. Ensure the Piston moves inward when necessary before fitting the lowered caliper Piston housing to the retaining frame. Use a torque wrench to tighten the retaining frame-to-caliper housing bolts to 27 nm without damaging the Piston seal. Put the wheels back on and lower the vehicle after reestablishing the wheel alignment marks initially taken.
