1LE brake package. How to change brake pads?
Hi,
I hear its pretty easy but could someone give me a step by step way to change the brake pads? I did a search and something about a spring came up but I just want to make sure.
Here is a write up:
"The Turbo TA came with the rare 1LE racing brake package, which upgrades the front discs to 12 inch police rotors, Corvette twin piston aluminum calipers and semi-metallic pads. These brakes are virtually fade proof, and were installed to legalize the 1LE package for Firehawk endurance racing. The rear discs were also increased to 12 inches in 1989 and use Corvette single piston calipers. All of the brakes on the car are of a quick change design, and pads can actually be changed in 30 seconds. "

Re: 1LE brake package. How to change brake pads?
if the fronts are anything like my rears, all you do is take off the top caliper bolt and the caliper swings down, and the pads pretty much fall out.
