how do you change front brake pads on a 1997 Buick LaSabre?

My brother-in-law is convinced he needs an allen wrench to change the front brake pads on his car. The allen wrench is supposedly needed to remove a bracket that is holding the calipers in place. He thinks the calepers need to be removed to change brake


Most all General Motors cars, you would need to remove the calipers to change the pads. On many Japanese and European cars you don't have to. Most older GM calipers were held on by a pair of bolts with an "Allen" head, but most later models
