brake

Good evening everyone, A bit of background on what's going on: My car blew a brake line around Thanksgiving last year and had sat till about 3 weeks ago. A friend is helping me repair it. To summarize what's been replaced on the car due to wear & tear: -Brake master cylinder -All hard metal...

great smooth running, car not regretting the purchase for my daughter at all. general Maintenance with the brakes is different than any other car I've had. such as the bleeding sequence and whether to have the ignition on or off with this one? I'm used to bleeding from the farthest caliper...

I have a 2011 Regal, 140K miles. just changed the catalytic converter, exhaust manifold ( cracked) and O2 sensor. The brake light comes on intermittently. When that happens the stability control tightens up and the brake pedal gets real hard. It feels like you are driving with the emergency...

Does anyone know whether or not there's different size pads between the base and Turbo? I have the turbo and I'm looking for pads and noticing only one specifically says turbo (on rockauto) and happens to be 3x as expensive as any other ones even the gm genuine brand. Any input? I was originally...

One of my metal brake lines rusted and leaked out. How hard is it to change it myself and whats involved? Should I do all?

Hi, In a past posts, we talked about the problem which cause Anti lock, Brake and AWD disabled, lights on. I fixed all possible problems but I can’t find someone with the computer to erase the code, obviously I tried with a regular (SnapOn) computer to erase that codes but It didn’t work. Can...

2018 Enclave on lease. A few weeks back the parking break didn’t initially turn off as usual. Then service break light went on. Followed directions in manual and then everything went back to normal. Yesterday while driving about 45 miles an hour the parking break went on by itself. I thought a...

I am trying to replace an E-Brake cable that snapped on the front portion of the vehicle. I am having trouble removing the E-Brake pedal. I removed the front two nuts, but cannot find what else is holding it on? It feels like there is another one somewhere but u cannot find it. Can someone...

MY 2014 BUICK ENCORE makes a click sound when I step on the brake in park I never noticed this before with 40,000 miles on it , the SUV runs fine but the dealer says we have to diagnose it on the big computer in the shop and that is a cost of $115.00 . If any one knows this sound occurs...

So I'm getting the : "P0724 torque converter / brake switch B" message. I have two switches at the brake pedal. ACDelco part#25669178 and #D888A (pictures attached) I've read that "both switches have a wire running to the cruise control module." The D888A switch was easy to test...

Hi Guys, any chance someone on here has a service manual with torque specs? I want to confirm what torque I need to use on 1) wheel lug nuts 2) Caliper guide pins 3) caliper bolts (the bolts that fix the calipers to the car) My guess is the torques are 1) 100 lb-ft, 2) ~20 lb-ft 3) ~65 lb-ft...

I just changed my front pads & rotors and I took some notes on how to do it. These are pretty rough, but I think it's enough information for others to find useful. I mostly followed this guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lU6OKQxSg8U but made some small tweaks for the Century, like...

About 6 months ago, I had a shop replace the brake lines from all four wheels to the ABS controller on my 03 Century with 95K miles on it. Driving home I noticed the pedal was much softer then it was before the work..although the car did stop and the pedal did firm up before hitting the floor...

2003 Buick Century Front Caliper Torques? I am planning on changing out my front brake rotors & pads soon, and I'm getting all the details sorted out. One thing I'm seeing different info for is the torque specs. I borrowed a friend's Chilton book which covers the Century & it lists 80 ft-lbs...

Just looking around online, everything I've seen says to use a clamp to push it back in. But my buddy told me that that is wrong and I probably need to use a special tool to twist it back in, and that forcing it back with a clamp would break the caliper. I looked around online for that, and it...

Wondering if you guys have ran into this. I just put new rotors and hawk HPS pads on the car last night, drove it about 30km and checked it this morning to find the following; it's an odd wear on the top side of the rotor (left and right both the same). It's being ground down on an angle... I...

I have a 60,000 mile LeSabre Custom that will need new pads and rotors in the next 3,000 miles or so. Looking for recommendations for what rotors and pads to install. According to my service records, the original rotors and pads lasted about 25,000 miles, the front rotors were then changed at...

A lot of us our trying different wheels, usually for throwing on a winter set for up in the Snow-belt. I'm selling some 19" ASA Revolutions (look identical to the newer AR1s) that didn't fit because the spokes were hitting the front face of the Brembo caliper. I just measured the off set on...

Just a heads up for anyone, like me, that did not know of this problem. The two lines that go from the master cylinder to the ABS unit are highly exposed to rotting out. This can be avoided if the problem has not gone too far already. Almost directly under the air filter box the two lines...

I have recent changed my front brakes on my 2000 century. Now when braking there is a clicking noise when braking from the left front wheel. I replaced the brake pads and rotors on both sides. There is still a clicking sound when braking. The sound times up with the rotation of the whel. On...
