Tools needed for a complete rotor/brake pad swap?

[DrewSG]

Gonna change these pads and rotors, never done them in a car other than my firebird.

Is it as simple as it was in my firebird? Just unbolting the wheels, then the caliper, changing rotor/pads and reassembling everything?

Anyone know the bolt sizes and torque specs? thanks

Basically the same. But the back brakes will be easier if you get the brake tool from a parts store that turns the piston while it pushes it back in the caliper. Regular C-clamp is good for the front. Sorry no sizes off-hand.

harbor freight has a nice caliper tool kit with all the sizes. Otherwise, just normal tools.

the trickiest part on the whole brake system is on the rear brakes , the e-brake cable, once you get that off your good to go,

Do a search for brake pads. I've got pics and everything posted up there.
