Instructions

    • 1Loosen the lugs nuts using the tire iron. Place the wood blocks in front of the tires you will not be removing.
    • 2 Raise the vehicle using the floor jack. Set the jack beneath the support strut that runs along the outer edge of the undercarriage. Raise it enough to allow the tires to clear the ground. Place the jack stands underneath the same strut as the jack.
    • 3 Remove the lugs nuts completely and take the tire off. Set these all aside.
    • 4 Remove the mounting bracket bolts with a socket wrench. The mounting bracket is the metal half-circle that is revealed when you remove the tire. Tie the mounting bracket to the undercarriage with rope to prevent stress damage to the brake line.
    • 5 Remove the brake pads from the bracket by hand.
    • 6 Compress the caliper cylinder with the C-clamp. The caliper cylinder is the 3- to 6-inch wide cylinder in the center of the bracket. Make sure that it is flush with the bracket.
    • 7 Install the new brake pads where the old ones were.
    • 8 Reattach the mounting bracket to the rotor. Reattach the tire and finger-tighten the lug nuts. Lower the vehicle and the tighten all of the nuts with the tire iron.

Grinding noise in front brakes of a 1993 olds cutlass supreme

Assuming this vehicles brake linings are ok and not worn out, it sounds like you have an abs rotor fault. The abs is working while your are braking because it cant read the road speed correctly. So you are feeling the abs motor working.

1993 Delta88 turn over won't run and no sparks

Someone will have to troubleshoot the ignition system, and you may need a shop manual to get the diagrams and steps.
You need to know if the module is getting power and a signal from the computer.

Cant get the caliper in the rear brakes to go in on my 1993 oldsmobile cutlass supreme while changing the brakes...

They may screw in instead of compress, if they do you need a special tool that you can buy at a parts store for $10 to $20 bucks.

I replaced a brake line on my 1993 olds 98 and the brakes still don't work

Did you bleed the line for air? If the break line was by the master cilinder, got to bleed all 4 tires, otherwise, got to bleed the two front or two rear tires.

If you step on the brake and feels spongy, is probably air in the lines, if it feels hard check master cilinder, if you hear an air leak, check brake booster.

I had someone change my brake pads without bleeding the brakes and now my warning light is on

Start at the master cylinder and bleed ,then the right rear,then the left rear,and right front,then the left front wheel.You should not have to bleed the brakes to install brake liners.

Right front brake line needs to be replaced. I see there is a recall: Recall Number: 93V121000 Dates Manufactured: APR 1993 to APR 1993 Number of Vehicles Affected: 2848 Date Owners Notified On: JAN 0001...

go to the dealer and ask. they will be able to look up your vehicle by the vin to see if it is included in this recall and whether the work was done yet.

BRAKE PADS

OK Jin, 1st I'd like to know if u know what kind of shape the brake pads are in, are they wearing evenly, (inner and outer, and both wheels) are they grinding metal on metal? If everything is wearing evenly, and u haven't gotten to the point of metal pads (brake lining worn off) grinding on the rotors, u can probably get away w/ just changing the pads, although to do a quality job, you should also remove the brake rotors, have them cut (ground down perfectly smooth and flat) by an auto shop (about $18 each in my area), and bleed the brake system to flush out the old fluid so u have new fluid in the system. You also may need calipers if break pads are not wearing evenly. Let me know condition of brake pads and other above questions, and I can give u more info. I'll be on the road tomorrow for 15+ hours tomorrow, so be patient for a reply! countrycurt0
