Cindy, What Model-Year Is the Cutlass ? Are These Front Brakes ?

What have you removed so far to get to the clip you can’t remove ? Do you have any kind of a manual or instructions ?

Cindy, Front Brakes ? Have You Removed The Brake Caliper (Leaving The Flexible Brake Hose Attached), Yet ?

Are you sure the “clip” isn’t just the wear indicator that is part of the outboard brake pad ? Could the “clip” be anti-rattle clips ?

Try going to [http://www.autozone.com/autozone/](http://www.autozone.com/autozone/) and registering. Input information about your car and select “repair guides” and “brakes”.

See If Your Local Auto Parts Store Sells A Service Manual For Your 99 Olds Or Try The Local Library For A “Reference Book” Service Manual.  
Look At The Brakes Section Before Buying Anything To Be Sure It Will Help You.
