No, he said he has 4 wheel disc. I think he means the e-brake pads that sit inside the rotors, but I didn't know 98-02 camaros had that. I thought they are like the older style rears, where the caliper pads also act as e-brake.

Yeah exactly. If it is JUST like a normal drum brake setup behind the rotor, all you have to do is turn the little gear wheel that either expand the shoes or become smaller, but if you go smaller, you then have to push the shoes against it and line the shoes up right so the rotor slides back on good.

As you`re taking off wheels, pack as much grease as possible in those pin holes so the pads wear properly
