Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the rear brake pads on this 2003 Chevy Monte Carlo. We show you on the passenger's side but the driver's side is the same procedure. The items you'll need for this include new brake pads from 1AAuto.com, a 19mm socket and ratchet, a 14mm wrench, a flat blade screw driver, a hammer, a large C-clamp, a wire brush, brake grease, jack and jack stands, and a torque wrench.
Loosen up the lug nuts, pull your hub cap off, and then remove the lug nuts. You want to loosen these while the vehicle is on the ground, then raise the vehicle and remove them the rest of the way if you don't have air-powered tools. Now, just pull the wheel off.
Next, remove the top caliper bolt and loosen the bottom one. I use a 14mm wrench and hook it on with another wrench to get some extra leverage. Again, remove the top one and loosen the bottom one. Once you remove the top one, then you can pull the caliper back. Once you pull back the caliper, just pry out the brake pads with a flat blade screw driver. Then pry out these brake pad slides.
On the top are the new pads from 1A Auto; on the bottom are the old ones. You can see that the new ones from 1A Auto are exactly the same. Pull back your caliper and then use an old brake pad and push in that piston. Just twist the large C-clamp. It will push the brake pad against the piston and push the piston in. Clean off your brake pad slides using a wire brush, and then push them back into place. Then apply brake grease to the tabs on either end of your brake pads. Slide the brake pads into place and then push your caliper back up into place over the brake pads. Then replace those two 14mm bolts and tighten them up.
Replace your wheel, replace the lug nuts, and then tighten them preliminary. Lower the vehicle and tighten them the rest of the way. Then torque each of these to 100 foot-pounds in a crossing pattern. Replace your hub cap and tighten up these lug nut caps. Whenever you do any work on the brakes, you want to just pump the brake pedal until it firms out and try a stopping test from five miles per hour, then ten miles.
