Car Forum / Oldsmobile Cars / March 200689 Cutlass Ciera Brakes
Just wondering if replacing the front and/or rear brakes on this car are something I can tackle myself. It's my son's car and I've done brakes before but not in a good 20 years or so when I worked on my own cars (pre new-age electronic systems, etc) Thanks, Walter The front brakes are really easy. You'll just need a T-45 torx socket and a C clamp to compress the caliper. I haven't tackled the rear brakes, but if you've done drum brakes before I don't expect you'll have any problems. Good luck! Joseph Is it a T-45 socket or T-45 bit? Walter > The front brakes are really easy. You'll just need a T-45 torx socket > and a C clamp to compress the caliper.

I imagine a 7MM allen wrench would work too as they are technically the same size. Walter > Is it a T-45 socket or T-45 bit? > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > > > Joseph Yeah it's a bit... I said socket because the one I ought is a 3/8 socket with the T45 in it. You may get it loose with an allen, but a lot of times they are torqued on pretty good. Something weird I just noticed today.... On my 90 Ciera... It's a T-50 on the driver's side and T-45 on the passenger side. WTF? Not sure which is the stock one, and which is the replacement. |
