first i want to say this looks like a nice forum .i have a question i have a 95 impala ss and i am trying to put the rear brakes back together i am having a hard time installing the pads in the caliper .i have the clip that i guess holds the pads but i can't figure it out .does anyone have a pic of this part .thanx

ive never worked on a 95 GM brake setup, but on other 1995 cars that Ive done breakjobs on, the pads slip right in to the caliper bracket so they are firmly in place and flush against the rotor, then the caliper slides right over them and you bolt in place...


But again, Ive never worked on GM brakes, so i could just be an ignorant sl*t :icon_thumright:

Hope this helps. Also replace the pin guide bolts, not recommend to reuse the old ones. From the looks of it you will need to put the pads into the caliper mount before putting the caliper back on over the pads.

According to my Mitchell on Demand: no, some, maybe the caprices only(?) have rear drum brakes.

so that seems to be an agreement put the pads into the braket then put the calipers over them .only thing there is a clip that looks like an H that came with the calipers how does it relate .does it just hold the pads in place . i just want to say thanx for everyone's input .this forum is quick and it's the bomb

i used a c clamp and once its back in it stays back in and the the brake sshould just slide in and the caliper should fall right in to place

Take your time winding the C clamp down making sure that it doesnt slip off the back of the caliper... If its a new caliper theres no way it wont compress, but sometimes old ones wont.
