Pontiac Firebird Brake Pad
Brake Pads are used in the Brake system of Pontiac Firebird vehicles to affect the conversion of kinetic energy into thermal energy through friction with the brake rotors in order to slow the vehicle. These Brake Pads are often metal composite products and synthetic material, and to make sure that these products can withstand high temperature applications, they can go up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit during usage. Several kinds of Brake Pads have been used in Pontiac Firebird models in the past and these include the non-metallic, the semi-metallic, the full metallic and the ceramic types. Both types are different in friction, wear and noise characteristics according to the type of material used. Maintenance is required frequently with, brake pads depending on their usage, getting replaced after approximately 50000 miles, and wear sensors/ indicators to signal when change is necessary. Brake Pads on Pontiac Firebird vehicles have rightly mentioned and handed along with required hardware and thus helps the system to operate with perfect efficiency and for longer life.

Pontiac Firebird Brake Pad Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: Should front disc brake pads be replaced on both wheels simultaneously on Pontiac Firebird?A:The disc brakes need consistent and simultaneous replacement of brake pads irrespective of the wheels on which they are fixed. As with many auto repair projects, care should be taken to avoid coming in contact with asbestos dust which is known to be dangerous to health. To start off, take off the cap on the brake fluid reservoir then drain about sixty milliliters into an absorbent material for disposal. Lift the front of the vehicle and support it with jack stands, then unbolt the front wheel, and install a couple of the wheel lugs (with flats on the inside towards the rotor) to help hold the rotor in-place. In the case of a single-piston caliper, pull the piston back into its bore by using the C-clamp or flat bar; while doing so master cylinder fluid should not spill. It is necessary to use an Allen wrench to carry out the removal of two caliper mounting bolts and the brake line retaining clip. For a dual piston caliper remove circlip and retainer pin and for reuse remove them and replace them with new one, before working on the wheel and hub mark them for realignment. Raise the lower end of the caliper and support with stiff wire; do not pull the rubber brake hose tightly. Before removing the pads, use the channel-lock pliers or the C-clamp in forcing the pistons into the caliper bores for the clearance. You definitely have to remember to install the old pads prior to pulling them out of the caliper, then first clean the caliper and the bracket with aerosol brake system cleaner. fit the new pads with the outer pad which has the bias spring secures to the caliper housing and the inner pad with the wear sensor goes into the pistons. Check that the pads are correctly located and clean and free from oil or grease. Place the caliper and pad assembly back onto the rotor, expand the bias spring on the outer pad, fit a new retainer pin and attendant circlip. Do the same thing to all the remaining front caliper until each of them has a corresponding accelerometer print. Fix the wheels back in position, lower the car and start the engine, then apply the Brake Pedal slowly and with pressure three time to allow the pads to bite against the rotors before opening the bonnet to refill the brake fluid reservoir.
