1993 Saturn SW2 Brakes
I have a '93 SW2 and would like to try replacing the front brake pads and
rotors myself. Is this something someone with average mechanical skills can do? Have replaced pads on other cars, but never rotors. -- Message posted using http://www.talkaboutautos.com/group/...makers.saturn/ More information at http://www.talkaboutautos.com/faq.html |

Sorry, that was a typo. It's a '95.

I'm not sure if there's a difference between your Saturn and my '96 and '99, but on mine, all you need to do is remove the caliper completely, then just slide the old rotor off the hub. |

You remove caliper, then you have to remove the bracket tha the caliper
bolts to. This bracket has to come off in order to slide the rotors off. Make sure to grease the sliders also when you are finished.

If you have replaced front disc pads on other vehicles, then you should be
fine doing the Saturn since they are very similar. Rotors just pop off once the calipers are removed and are easier to replace than to turn down and re-use. This is a fairly simple job and if you have any mechanical ability, you should be fine.
