Help out a c3 guy working on a c5
I'm putting new brake pads on a friends c5, and i just wanted to get on and make sure it was not too much different than my c3 or difficult. I mean its only brake pads but you never know when you start working on new cars. I'm doing the rear wheels. Thanks

Pretty simple, just need 15mm wrench & 16mm wrench if the float pins spin. Slide off the calipers, push in the pistons and slide in the pads and grease the slide pins. Re-assemble

Brake calipers are torqued to 125 ft.lbs. - make sure you use red Loctite on the caliper bolts after cleaning the old Loctite off.
