[Chevelle-list] Very OT - Chevy ABS pads

[Clyde]

Hello:i noticed in all the replies,that the most important thing to do 
before replaceing the pads,was not mentioned.Crack open the front bleeders 
and invert the brake calipre to allow the dirty old fluid to be drained from 
the brake calipre.This should be done for a couple of reasons.(1) if the 
vehicle has abs,the old contimanited fluid will be pushed back into the 
hcu,causing the hcu to possibly become defective.(2).when the bleeder is 
cracked open,the calipre is inverted,the old fluid will not have any chance 
to be pushed into the hcu.You can use a large apir of channel lock pliers.a 
c clamp,or install the new pads and use a calipre spreader to push the 
piston back in.
