How to Remove My 1994 Buick Front Brake Disc

The front brake disc on a 1994 Buick is used by the braking system to slow down the vehicle. The brake calipers compress the pads against the disc, arresting the vehicle. The disc wears down with the pads, and when the pads eventually wear out, the discs should be removed so that they can be replaced or resurfaced. In this case, the project vehicle is a 1994 Buick Regal, but the process is similar for other 1994 Buick models as well.

Instructions

1

Set the parking brake. Lift the front of the Buick with the jack and set the front down onto a pair of jack stands. Unbolt the wheels from the car using the tire iron.

2

Unbolt the brake calipers with the ratchet. Suspend the caliper from the chassis using the "J" hook. Mark the surface of the disc with the paint marker to note the relation of the hub to the rotor.

3

Slide the brake disc off the wheel hub using your hands.
