Ok i pulled one side off to put new pads. My e-brake has been siezed for a long time. I havent done rear brakes on one of these cars so yea.. Anyway i put a clamp on it just like I would the front and it wont go back. The pads arent that old. I didnt want to mess it up so i put it back togtether with the old pads.

 

 

any ideas?

Ok i tried that they are mashed.. I ende dup moving it like not even half an inch.. so I did a MAJOR HILLYBILLY MOVE.I sanded my new brake pads down a bit on the belt sander and put them in lol.... prolly should be in that thread thats kicking around. BTW my car turned 292,000k today so a replacement will be in the works for spring. which it will be over 300,000k by then.

thats funny. seriously you need to replace the brake calipers. I recommend an upgrade to 94+ brake myself. read:

replacement schlacement. I drove my lumina to 222k (thats about 360,000 km) before dismantiling it, and i am REUSING the engine and tranny in another car... wihout rebuilding either.

 

as long as you fix the small things and maintain your car, it has the potential to surpass 400k km.

without a doubt! I think my car could easily goto 400k with no major issues. I will still keep it for a spare car cause I will prolly start driving my trans am in the spring.
