Anyone want to explain to me (in detail) on how to change front brakes on a Corsica?? :D PLEASE?!

[VPT]

This will be good.

[austinj06]

Have TomKat do it....he's a nice guy!!

WTF??!! NO FAITH!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

[austinj06]

...no I have faith....its just alot easier to have someone do it with you, instead of trying to explain how to do it on here, i mean no disrespect towards you at all....

[2fastforyou]

take the tire off...

[TSi_II]

1. Tire off
2. Caliper off
3. Pads out
4. Pads in
5. Caliper on
6. Wheel on

7. Move to other side

8. Repeat 1-6

9. Drive

9. Drive


Pump pedal to make sure the brake system is working. Don't want a spongy pedal. Also. Start of real slow and use the brakes.

You don't want to build up speed to try out your brakes and find out they don't work! :)

Then... Drive :D

[TSi_II]

Revised:

8.5. Pump brakes.
3.5. You might have to push the caliper piston back.

YAY! :D when my daddy gets off work he's gonna learn me how to do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

Shorty one thing I always find handy is good shop manual. In your case you an actually view one for you car free online. Check out www.autozone.com There is a section on there called "repair guides". You'll have to input the type of car and year and such, and then you may have to click on repair guides again after that but it will bring up a haynes or Chilton repair manual for your car. There is a section on brakes. It is generally a very simple job on those cars. You may need a few basic tools, and possibly a few specialty tools, (torx bit's) Some of the Corsicas use tox bolts to hold the caliper on, and some use allen head bolts.

Thank You! :D

Brakes are done! :D

But i was kinda pissed to find out that when i pulled the tire off my axle boot has a big ass rip/ tear in it :evil: ... so once i get my first paycheck looks like i'm gonna have to buy a rebuilt front axle :? ... i would just go out and buy a boot kit that comes with the grease but i don't have the money for that right now... so a $60 rebuilt axle is prolly the only route that i can take at the moment... :x :x :x :x :x :x

And my dad noticed the my car is guzzling anti-freeze again... :evil:

THIS SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't fix it. Buy a new car.

You gonna buy it for me??!! :lol:

I still want a 2G Talon... but before you guys get your panties in a bunch hear me out...

I would put a different engine in it because i was talkin to some people and learned that the everything on the car works fine, EXCEPT, for the engine... so that's all you gotta do... do an engine swap on it and there you go... :lol:

WTF would you swap a motor... what would you put in it then?? another 2g talon motor?? then your right back where you started. OMG this is abou the dummest post i've seen here all week.

[TomKat]

DSM have more problems than just motor trouble. That's just the beginning of a long long list. :(

No motor swaps Shorty.


So with the new brakes in place you should be all ready for the WIR autocross. :D

Ya... no autocrossing for the Corsica... :( But i can drive a shiny silver Evo... :D :lol:

Bad day devlish??

[TomKat]

Some 2g DSM's came with Neon engines from the factory. Arrrggghhh.

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

non turbo DSM's = 420a motor = neon motor

GET A HONDA!!!!!! or an acura...

Or a Lotus

Honestly for a girl that does not work on cars, and has no b/f who works on them, or deep pockets. I would never suggest a DSM. Look for a Honda or Acura, or buy TK's 240.

...or a Lotus

Nope, it was blue... I meant a Matchbox car.
