Urgent need for info on 94 Buick Century Wheel rotor replacement

Aug 02, 2005 2 Replies

I very urgently need information on 1994 Buick Century front wheel rotor work, etc.


On a RWD vehicle with front disk brakes, replacement of the front wheel rotors, bearings, and brake pads is very straight forward and simple: Raise and support vehicle, remove wheel, remove and hang caliper, remove rotor, replace inside and outside bearings, and re-assemble with replacement parts. Been there and done that many times.


What about a FWD 1994 Century. What extra steps and problems are there, if any, and what special tools, if any are required for this same job on a FWD? Are there any parts that tend to be destroyed in taking things apart which should be purchased and on hand before starting the job?


I can't allow this car to be down for any kind of service for more than 24 hours, as it is a life line to transport a family member to medical treatments. So, I really need to know what I'm getting myself into before I take things apart.


Thanks In Advance for your help.

Less work, easy deal. Don't have to pack the bearings, just take off the wheel, caliper and then the disc.
