SOURCE: how do I remove rear brake pads on 94 olds cutlass

Please don't forget to rate! This helps us help you!

1993–96 Vehicles

1. Remove about 2⁄3 of the brake fluid from the reservoir with a clean syringe or baster type utensil.
2. Raise and safely support the vehicle.
3. Matchmark the relationship of the wheel to the axle flange. Remove the wheel and tire assembly.
4. Reinstall two lug nuts to retain the rotor.
5. Unfasten the bolt and washer attaching the cable support bracket to the caliper body assembly. It is not necessary to disconnect the parking brake cable from the caliper parking brake lever or disconnect the brake hose unless the caliper is to be completely removed from the vehicle. Freeing the cable support bracket allows enough flexibility in the cable to pivot the caliper up and down and remove the shoe and lining.
6. Remove the sleeve bolt.
7. Pivot the caliper body assembly up. Do not completely remove the caliper assembly body.
8. Remove the outboard and inboard shoe and linings (pads) from the caliper support.
9. Remove the two pad clips from the caliper support. To install:
   
10. Bottom the piston assembly into the caliper bore. Use a suitable spanner-type tool in the piston slot to turn the piston assembly and thread it into the caliper body assembly.
11. After bottoming the piston, lift the inner edge of the boot next to the piston assembly and press out any trapped air. The boot must lie flat. Make sure the slots in the end of the piston are positioned correctly before pivoting the caliper body assembly down over the shoe and lining in the caliper support. Use a suitable spanner-type tool in the piston slots to turn the piston as necessary. NOTE: Whenever installing new pads, install new pad clips. These should be provided in the disc pad kit.
    
12. Install the two pad clips in the caliper support.
13. Install the outboard and inboard shoe and lining in the caliper support. The wear sensor is on the outboard pad. The sensor is positioned downward at the leading edge of the rotor during forward wheel rotation. Hold the metal shoe edge against the spring end of the clips in the caliper support. Push the shoe in toward the hub, bending the spring ends slightly, and engage the shoe notches with the support abutments.
14. Pivot the caliper body assembly down over the shoe and lining assembly. Be careful not to damage the piston boot on the inboard. Compress the sleeve boot by hand as the caliper body moves into position to prevent boot damage.
15. After the caliper body is in position, recheck the installation of the pad clips. If necessary, use a small prytool to re-seat or center the pad clips on the support abutments.
16. Install the sleeve bolt and tighten to 20 ft. lbs. (27 Nm).
17. Install the cable support bracket (with the cable attached) with the bolt and washer. Tighten the bolt to 32 ft. lbs. (43 Nm).
18. Remove the two lug nuts retaining the rotor.
19. Install the wheel and tire assembly, aligning the marks made during removal.
20. Carefully lower the vehicle, then firmly depress the brake pedal 3 times to seat the pads against the rotors.

If the lights on the dash all come on but the engine wont turn over it could be a problem with the VAT security system. Your key has a little chip on it between the teeth and the handle. This is a common problem with GMs', often just replacing the key is necessary but sometimes the VAT module needs to be replaced.

problem could be the ignition key and switch or the theft deterrent module relay is bad or the theft deterrent module is faulty.this is a dealership fix.

Check the wire from the module to the crank sensor. They go bad. Usually from oil leaks. Is it saturated with oil where it goes under the engine? Also check for power and ground on the two wire plug on the drivers side of the module. It isn't the ecm or anything with it. The ignition system on the 3.1 will work with the ecm unplugged. The ignition system is a stand alone system. It sends signals to the ecm for the fuel injection.
