Not to quibble but my '82 LS [01/82 manufacture date] has dual ATE calipers. I think we discussed this in the past. Some came with Brembos some ATE for some reason.

Same as mine.  Can we also change the pads without removing the calipers, like they can with their Brembos?  We have those plastic snap on covers, but I never tried to see if the pads would come out that way.



I guess you could.  As long as you can get the pins out.

You also have to push the piston back in to the caliper, to allow for thicker pads.
Just open up your bleeder valve (w/hose attached in catch bottle) if you have trouble with the pistons.
