2005 Buick Park Avenue Brake Pad Set

First, you need to select a smooth road with little or no traffic and accelerate the vehicle to 48 km/h (30 mph). Then, please use moderate to firm pressure to apply the brakes to bring the vehicle to a stop. Finally, you should repeat doing so until approximately 20 stops have been completed, and allow sufficient cooling periods between stops to properly burnish the brake pads and rotors.

First, you need to remove the tire and wheel assembly, gain enough clearance to allow the brake caliper to pivot off the brake caliper bracket, remove the park brake cable guide bolt from the lower control arm, and remove the bottom brake caliper pin bolt. Then, please pivot the brake caliper body upward and secure it out of the way with a heavy mechanic's wire. Finally, you should remove tile inboard and outboard brake pads from the brake caliper bracket, and remove and inspect the brake pad retainers.

The recommended torque is 85 N.m (63 lb-ft).

First, you need to remove the tire and wheel assembly, allow the caliper to slide past the brake rotor, remove the C-clamp from the caliper, remove the bottom brake caliper pin bolt, and pivot the brake caliper body upward and secure out of the way with heavy mechanic's wire. Then, please install a large C-clamp over the body of the brake caliper, and tighten the C-clamp until the caliper piston is compressed completely into the caliper bore. Finally, you should remove the C-clamp and the old brake pad or wood block, remove the inboard and outboard brake pads and remove and inspect the brake pad retainers.
