Lovgun7 75 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Easy job all you need is 14mm socket for the caliper 19mm socket for the rotor a Philips head screwdriver to release the discs. and these (cheaper options out there but for the price why not.) http://www.ebay.com/itm/Power-Stop-OEK-Ceramic-Brake-Kits-for-Aveo-KOE5893-/382032351293?vxp=mtr perfect step by step tutorial (chevy aveo no difference in steps from Chevy Spark) my car needed a new set of tires and alignment which set me back a bit but thats fine since my original plan was to have the dealer do the job so comes out to about the same CShine 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Retired old Gearhead 201 Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Ya..Very good price on that kit and people who are able to do that correctly can really save a bundle!..Brake job at a garage or dealer is mostly labor with a huge mark-up on parts. Nice job on finding that. Link to post Share on other sites

Nice job on finding that. the ONLY issues i ran into were the bolts were super TIGHT. everything was done by hand tools and extra elbow grease And removing the caliper was a bit of a hassle just because the dirt and gunk build up but other than that it was an easy job Link to post Share on other sites
shawnb4595 1 Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 2013 Spark. I stripped the phillips screws that hold on the rotors and had to drill them out. I hope this will be ok as I could not/did not replace them. Link to post Share on other sites

Bruce Marks 2 Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 That screw requires an impact driver. People should not attempt removing it without one. You can buy one cheap online or at Harbor freight. Link to post Share on other sites
