OK, tomorrow I will tackle the front brakes on my 1988 Shelby Lancer. I have done the old drum brakes on my older cars, but this is my first disk brake job.
Anyhow, the Haynes manual describes two brake calipers; Kelsey Hayes, and ATE. I looked under the car, and if the Haynes pics are accurate, I have ATE calipers.
The difference between the calipers is in the brake pad replacement itself. On the ATE, it seems to replace the inner pad, I must remove the rotor, or 'disk' itself. I am not sure about this. I recall that these rotors 'rust', or cold weld into place, and cannot be removed easily. The Haynes manual says to 'unscrew retainers' and remove the disk; not too much detail here.
So, advice and opinions, please.
Thanks for your time in replying!
