Does anyone have info on instructions for replacing the rear pads? Any links to view photos or diagrams on this procedure?

The Haynes book covers thru 2002, so I did not know if it covers 2003 model.
Chilton DVD for this year won't be out until May. Their print versions don't cover 2000+.
Buick service manual(s) cost $135.

My front pads wore down and ground into rotors without any warning until grinding started. 36,000 miles. Repair shop replaced rotors also. I don't want to have to pay that price again.

2002-2003 procedure is the same.

jack hole ass end up..

use one of the sides as a guide

2002-2003 procedure is the same.

Thanks - I appreciate the reply.

In the well-worn Haynes manual, it was suggested that the caliper did not have to be removed entirely to replace the pads. Any suggestions (other than jack up the [w]hole rear end)? It was more or less obvious what had to be removed to replace the pads on the '78 Vette.

You can pivot the caliper on one stationary slider pin, you will see this when you get in there.

yeah its pretty easy to understand how it works when you get into the job
