Not designed for maintenance
Doing a brake job on my daily driver today and it wasn't as easy as I expected.
One of the caliper bolts on the rear is in an enclosed space too small to get a wrench or a socket it. You have to remove the trailing arm to get to the caliper bolt. But the bolt for the trailing arm is too long to clear the shock absorber. So the shock has to come off to get the trailing arm off to get the caliper bracket off to get the rotor off. An hour for one side. I have to wonder how a design like this made it out the door. It certainly wasn't designed with maintenance in mind.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
