Model TCR11RR-SGKW brake

This piston rotates clockwise to go back in, like a big screw. Sometimes you can do it by hand but usually you need a caliper tool with the right size pegs to screw it back in. Some parts stores will loan you this tool.

Front brakes on all modern cars are disc brakes. The front brakes generally provide 80% of the stopping power, and so tend to wear faster than the rear. Replacing them - pads, rotors and calipers - is quite simple once you understand the process, and can save you a great deal of money. These instructions will include a full front brake replacement. Also, having a service manual for your vehicle will save your sanity, as well as time and money. If you only need pads, or pads and rotors, but not calipers, skip the steps for replacing calipers. Repeat the steps below for each side of the car as necessary.

no do not touch the cable thats cowboy stuff ,remove the drum and then grind the lip out on the edge of the drum ,then adjust the auto adjusters up manually so drum just slips on and you can hear the brakes rubbing ,perfect. then do the other side ,when you finish the handbrake shouldnt move more than 3 clicks and the footbrake will be nice and firm .Then its off after dark to the local industrial estate and take on the boy racers with handbrake turns ,drifting is out as its front wheel drive

1. Step 1 Remove ½ of the brake fluid from the master cylinder with the syringe and replace the cover. Discard the fluid.
   
2. Step 2
3. Remove the front hubcaps and loosen the wheel nuts using the lug wrench, but do not remove the nuts.
   
4. Step 3 Lift the front end of the LeSabre with the floor jack and secure safely onto the jack stands.
   
5. Step 4 Remove the wheel nuts and wheels. Screw one wheel nut back onto a wheel stud hand tight to retain the rotor away from the caliper assembly.
   
6. Step 5 Place a large C-clamp over the left inboard caliper housing and the outboard pad, and tighten to compress the caliper piston.
   
7. Step 6 Remove the two caliper guide bolts using a box end wrench. Remove the caliper and secure it to the vehicle chassis with mechanic's wire or a metal hook.
   
8. Step 7 Remove the outboard pad from the caliper on the LeSabre first. Pry it off the outboard caliper housing using the screwdriver.
   
9. Step 8 Remove the inboard pad by lifting the retaining clips out of the caliper bore.
   
10. Step 9 Clean the surface of the caliper bridge that contacts the backing plate of the pads using a wire brush, and apply a thin coat of brake lubricant to the contact points. Be careful not to let the lubricant get onto the rotor.
    
11. Step 10 Install the new inboard brake pad and shim into the caliper piston bore by pressing the retaining clips into the bore until it locks into place.
    
12. Step 11 Install the outboard pad onto the caliper housing, making sure to align the retaining clips into the holes in the caliper. Use the screwdriver to convince the clips onto the caliper if necessary.
    
13. Step 12 Replace the caliper over the rotor.
    
14. Step 13 Clean off the surface of the guide bolts and apply a light coat of lubricant to the smooth surface of them. Align them properly through the rubber boots and bolt the caliper to the knuckle. Tighten the guide bolts using the wrench. Remove the wheel nut from the wheel stud securing the rotor.
    
15. Step 14 Replace the wheel and wheel nuts. Tighten the wheel nuts snugly, and re-tighten them (with a torque wrench is recommended set at 100 foot pounds) once the LeSabre is back on the ground.
    
16. Step 15 Repeat steps 5 through 14 for the right side.
    
17. Step 16 Pump the brake pedal when you're through to seat the new pads against the rotors, then check and add new brake fluid to the master cylinder.

ase mechanic:

those calipers in the rear have slots on the piston right. that means you have to turn the pistons in clockwise. sometimes a pair of needle nose pliers put in the slots and turn will work, otherwise there is a rear caliper brake tool to turn those pistons in.

To many steps for me to type right now. I'd check with your local library for the repair manual for this car.
