I thought I'd change out the front brake pads this past weekend but when I came to the repair section in my manual I was a little stumped.
According to Haynes, the caliper is either a single piston caliper or dual. The only dual piston caliper shown is for a Cobra Mustang. That's not mine. But when I looked at the back of the cars front calipers, there appears to be two pistons.
So, which do I have? And, how do I change out the pads. It's simple enough.
I only think I thought I would need to do would be to remove the lower retaining bolt on the caliper, right? If so, how do I keep the special washer nut from rotating while I loosen the bolt? It seems like the bolt just spins on and on.
Thanks!
