TRQ brake kits are designed to restore your brake system to like-new performance. TRQ brake pads are positive molded, thermal scorched, chamfered, and utilize a multi-layer shim for enhanced performance and service life. TRQ rotors have a non-directional finish that reduces the break-in period for new rotors as well as reducing vibrations throughout the rotor’s lifecycle. All products are fit and road-tested in our Massachusetts R&D facility to ensure we deliver on our promise of Trusted Reliable Quality.

Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the rear brake pads on this 2003 Chevy Monte Carlo. We show you on the passenger's side but the driver's side is the same procedure. The items you'll need for this include new brake pads from 1AAuto.com, a 19mm socket and ratchet, a 14mm wrench, a flat blade screw driver, a hammer, a large C-clamp, a wire brush, brake grease, jack and jack stands, and a torque wrench.
Loosen up the lug nuts, pull your hub cap off, and then remove the lug nuts. You want to loosen these while the vehicle is on the ground, then raise the vehicle and remove them the rest of the way if you don't have air-powered tools. Now, just pull the wheel off.
Next, remove the top caliper bolt and loosen the bottom one. I use a 14mm wrench and hook it on with another wrench to get some extra leverage. Again, remove the top one and loosen the bottom one. Once you remove the top one, then you can pull the caliper back. Once you pull back the caliper, just pry out the brake pads with a flat blade screw driver. Then pry out these brake pad slides.
On the top are the new pads from 1A Auto; on the bottom are the old ones. You can see that the new ones from 1A Auto are exactly the same. Pull back your caliper and then use an old brake pad and push in that piston. Just twist the large C-clamp. It will push the brake pad against the piston and push the piston in. Clean off your brake pad slides using a wire brush, and then push them back into place. Then apply brake grease to the tabs on either end of your brake pads. Slide the brake pads into place and then push your caliper back up into place over the brake pads. Then replace those two 14mm bolts and tighten them up.
Replace your wheel, replace the lug nuts, and then tighten them preliminary. Lower the vehicle and tighten them the rest of the way. Then torque each of these to 100 foot-pounds in a crossing pattern. Replace your hub cap and tighten up these lug nut caps. Whenever you do any work on the brakes, you want to just pump the brake pedal until it firms out and try a stopping test from five miles per hour, then ten miles.
We hope this video helps you out. Brought to you by www.1AAuto.com, your source for quality replacement parts and the best service on the Internet. Please feel free to call us toll-free, 888-844-3393. We're the company that's here for you on the Internet and in person.

The parts I ordered were received quickly, and correctly! I really appreciated the "How to" videos. It was a quick reference to set up the tools needed in advance, and get a quick refresher being each vehicle is different. Thank you, and will be ordering again!

I find 1AAuto to be a great place to get quality after-market car & truck parts. I would recommend everyone shop here first. I have ordered and received on time every time parts for several different vehicles. All parts have been of high quality and exact fitting as advertised. I also recommend the diy videos found at 1AAuto. Very well made, informative and thorough. For all that you do at 1AAuto---THANK YOU!

When my breaks started to squeal and stoping became more and more difficult I needed a quick delivery and the day after I had ordered my breaks for my '04 Impala, I got them. Put them on and have had no break issues since. So far they have lasted longer then most breaks I have purchased from stores 1Aauto has me 100%.

Love everything I've gotten from your site! Have never had any issues with anything I've ever purchased from you. I love that all parts are OEM parts. Plus, your site has been cheaper than purchasing from any parts stores that I've found so far. I have recommended your site to several people and will continue to use myself for the foreseeable future! Thank you so much!
Great purchase!
