Once the tire is off, you'll need a caliper compressor. I use a large C-clamp to push the piston back to make room for the thicker new pads. I believe the caliper bolts are 15mm. So just 2 tools, a compressor and wrench/socket/rachet, whatever you have.

AWD mantinance light came on 2004 rainier

tack it in for ccheckup and repair.


The AWD light indicates a fault is detected with the components that work with or operate the all wheel drive system. This is a warning light to let you know that there is a problem and that either the AWD has been disabled due to the problem or the AWD has a problem disabling itself

Change brake pads

For starters the front and rear us disk pads and it is not hard to do. On the front jack up the front and us jack stand for safety. After you take of the wheel remove the two bolts at the back of the brake caliper remove the caliper and then the old pads us a C- clamp with one of the old pads installed in the caliper then just us the c-clamp to push the cylinder all the way in until it will go no further install new pads put back on. But before you do the next side hit the brake to push the cylinder back out. Go to other side do the same thing. On a side not you only need to replace the rear brakes every other time you do the front. The front wear twice as fast as they do most of the stopping.

Just changed all brake pads and rotors on 2004 Buick Lesabre. There is a noice like a brake pad noise at partial pressing of brake petal. Is worse after traveling about 10 to 15 minutes

If it's just a slight squeak and then it goes away then it's probably brake dust. Some aftermarket brake pads will still squeak depending on what pads you got. It's a good idea to go with ceramic pads that have a cut down the center of the pad and the ends are chamfered. This will help disperse the brake dust and minimize any squeaking.

2005 buick ranier transmission wont shift

You probably have a sensor going bad and the trans is protecting itself by going into limp mode. Check the fluid level while trans is warm and car is parked with engine running.
