- In this video we show how to change the rear brake pads and how to replace the brake rotor on a 2000-2013 Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban.
If you have any further interest please visit www.2carpros.co... where you can ask any car questions.
*Disclaimer: Please use all safety precautions
Definitely several issues with this video..lack of grease & greasing procedure, no mention of proper torque specs or procedures, nothing about checking fluid level before squeezing pistons back in, etc etc. Damn, I almost need to make a video replacing my Yukon brakes so I can address all of the important things you omitted.
When do rear rotors ever come off that easy....where's the swearing and eventual cry in the corner?
Editing! lol Thank you for watching!
Ive had to hammer on those rotors for two hours before they never come off easy
Music has my blood pressure up more than doing the job. Now I need cigarette
There are differences:
For the 1500 series, the 2007- will have a 13mm caliper bolt and you'll need a 20mm wrench to hold the slider. Torque on it is 28 ft. Lb. The caliper bracket is held by an 18mm bolt and torque spec is 122 ft lb.
One thing not mentioned here but folks should be aware of. The caliper bracket bolts MUST be torqued to correct settings. I went to about 130 (slightly over the recommended 122) for mine. You DO NOT want these bolts backing out. Notice GM put a yellow threadlock on them. That's why they are so hard to remove. Some recommend putting more threadlock on the bolts and probably not a bad idea. I have never done that and haven't had bolts back out. I saw a post that said to put antisieze on the bolts - STUPID!! ThreadLock and anti-sieze (e.g. the copper-imbibed material you see on O2 sensor threads) are not the same thing.
I am in awe at how good of shape this vehicle from 2002 is
I know! I have tried buying it off the owner 3 times now. Never sells it to me. Thanks for watching!
@2CarPros Are Brake Pads & Rotors from an '02 Tahoe compatible w/ an '02 Suburban 1500?
Yes if they are both 1500 models. Thanks for watching!
awesome. I've done plenty of front pads but never rear pads. pretty much the same. i was thinking there was a brake cable for the parking brake I had to remove. guess I'm doing brakes on my wifes tahoe tomorrow. then knock sensors and intake gasket. glade its been unusually warm this month
Replying after 4 years, while I agree you'd usually need to consider the parking brake cable on most other vehicles (mostly ensuring it's able to be reset for the new pads and not binding, etc). My guess is your Drum Brake pads will last the entire life of the vehicle. You'll more like need to change this Rotor/Drum combination thing a few times before ever needing new drum pads. An inspection of the mechanism for activating the drum brakes is most you'll need to do.
Great video having trouble braking loose caliber bolts
pinch the brake line while compressing the caliper piston and force the brake fluid through the bleeder valve to avoid potential damage to the ABS system.
Good job on this helpful video. Thanks.
Thanks for the super duper fantastic video. I really appreciate it! Edit: Wooped the pants off my brake job today, thanks for this vid!! I'm not savvy with les automobile but made it happen, great vid!
Thanks so much for watching!
Very helpful thank you - got them both done in about an hour once I knew what I was doing.
Jim Moss Great to hear! Please subscribe if you haven't already.
Nice vid. You need to use some grease on the new clips. I coat the underside of them too, otherwise you'll get rust
I don't like using grease there just because the grease can heat up and get runny. Then it ends up on a brake surface and prevents it from working. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video. I appreciate your effort!
2carpros - don't you use a little grease on the retainer clips or the caliper slide pins ?
You can use grease on the caliper slide pins if needed. We do not recommend using grease when doing this repair, If any amount of grease gets on a brake pad it causes contamination ruining the pad. Do not put grease on retainer clips which hold the brake pads.
WD-40?
@@JackRabs idiotic response wd-40 eats rubber
@@A77738 asshole response.
This music... I have no reply for it. 😂
i take top off brake fluid though also. so when i compress if people top of the brake fluid it will overflow. and i put rags around it sometimes it still drip. though i guess a fresh clean rag over the top would help just suck up the excess i never want to risk anything falling inside of the fluid so i just wrap the rags around the reservoir and sometimes still get some leakage on floor. its easy just sucks when its 100 degrees outside and doing at your house in driveway.
Where is the caliper pin grease ????
Why do my slider bolts on my 2004 Tahoe look different than yours? When I pulled out my slider bolts one of them had a cut out at the end with a rubber bushing on it. What is the significance of that and which goes to the top and which goes to the bottom of the caliper?
Hi great video i have couple of questions the tahoe is Limited Slip Rear Axle?
And What is the size of the front and rear rotors?
Thank u
short sweet to the point thanks guys
Thank you so much for watching!
Great video. Easy to follow. Thanks a bunch.
Thanks for the video!
Awesome instructional video man . Supper ez to follow , thank you very much 👍🏽
Thank you fo rwatching!
what size wrench did u use to take of the 12mm bolt off caliper
What key are you using to tighten the brakes caliper
this video helps a lot and what size are the bolts
Why did he not put any high heat brake grease when doing the break job?
*brake not break
So I don’t need to bleed brakes or open brake fluid ???
No if you don't open the brake system. Thanks for watching!
Hey like the video, thanks great job.
i when to buy some break pad and they where asking me if the pad were " akabano or pbr break pads ... can u help if u know what I'm talking about
English?
Why are squealers on bottom when you take off and on top when you put on?
what is the tool used to remove the rotor?
Thanks for information. I love a bit of funk/rock fusion and I love an automotive themed video, but I don't like the two together.
Is this the same procedure for the rear brakes.on a 2003 Silverado 1500 , two wheel drive pickup? Thank you in advance for the answer.
Yes it is if your Silverado has rear disc brakes.
Thanks for your answer and quick response. My silverado has the rear disc brakes.
Hi,is this good for 2015 suburban
Whats wrong if you cannot get the caliper back on? We've taken one set of pads back on account of them not giving us the right ones. They seem too thick for the caliper to fit back on but my boyfriends doing the brake job so he's not gonna listen to what i think
Alena Hutto Did he compress the brake caliper before installing the new brake pads?
2CarPros yes. When he gets home from work i'll have him double check it to see if they can go in anymore. thank you! i may be checking back with you later.
I noticed you put the wear indicator pad on the outboard side when the original was on the in board side.
Richard A Becker c
good vídeo, it really help me,but i have one question.
how to know when need a tool, estándar or milimeter? sorry! for my english! thank you!
is replacing the retainer and rattle clips necessary? been checking online for pads and some don't come with the clips. i'm guessing it's recommended to replace em since you're already there but is it required or are the old clips just as good?
FL1PN0S1S I just changed mine and just greased the old clips and they work fine
No one covers the replacement shoes for the e brake in these videos.
Using the appropriate sized socket? How about telling us the sizes so we can grab them real quick and get our tools ready.
How can I tell on which side the back rotors are on thank you:)
I believe the tutors themselves are omnidirectional (ether side) the pads are the ones that have particular positions
Hi,is this good for a 2015 suburban
Very similar! Thanks for watching!
what size sokets are u using
The lug nuts are 22mm, torque to 120 ft-lb. Caliper guide pin bolts are 12mm, torque to 31 ft-lbs. Caliper mounting bracket bolts are 18mm, torque to 148 ft-lbs. As a Certified technician and Certified Parts Specialist, I stand by these numbers, and am honestly befuddled as to why the video creators couldn't include this information.
+alain charnier LOL. In reference to the rear brakes only, I know the torque specs are different on the 2500 Heavy Duty models (possibly bolt sizes), but all of the 1500 models are the same, from 1999-2006MY. -RT
hello guys how many pounds of torque need the caliper mounting bracket and also the caliper slide bolts ?
Prob like 22ft lbs. But it just needs to be on pretty tight.
2CarPros
thanks ^_^ what about the main bracket ?
Again you just want it to be on really tight. Brakes are something you don't want coming loose!
2CarPros
thanks again :)
Thank you for watching and commenting! :)
do you need power tool.. I tried to hand do it on the brake pad and it's really stuck and the whole thing start bending
what part are you talking about?
+2CarPros nevermind I already got it.. super tight caliper
yes they are tight
+2CarPros I got it off because i was pissed... the power anger. lol
lol that can help sometimes
Is this the same process for a 06 escalade
Yes it is the same process.
torque specs? dude, that music.
Could have done without it.
Why did you not torque the wheel?
It is not said in the video but the mechanic toque'd the wheel but didn't get it on camera. You should always torque the wheel to factory spec's sorry for the confusion
you didn't put the clips on the rotors
Don't need to. They are installed when the truck is going down the assembly line so they don't fall off before the wheels are put on. Serve no other purpose.
Yes he did @4:46
@@davebuskirk He meant, the round one you put on a stud to keep the rotor in place.
is there really no difference from this 02 tahoe to a 07 suburban
As far to our knowledge, it is the same process.
Let's see if it will be this easy when I take a stab at it tomorrow! Lol
You got this! Thanks for watching!
@@2carpros thank you for the tutorial! And it would have been easy but..... obviously the idiot's who put the tires on about 3 months ago tightened the lug nuts too tight and couldn't get em broke loose. Felt like it was bout to strip, I had a 12 point socket too so maybe if I buy a 6 point i can get it, if not imma take it right on to them and complain. But anyway with the 24 inch rims I have on it, I figured I'd try and take the caliper off since it was so much space and was able to, put the new pads on and then couldn't get the dang pistons pushed back in even with loosening the brake line smh so I put the old pads back on and am back at square one smh
Terrell Spivey did you ever finish it
Are the retainer clips necessary?
Cuauhtemoc Diaz yes
Torque values matter. Is this some industry secret or something? Why is it torque values are impossible to find on the internet?
Almost like no one actually uses them even at the dealer. Torque values are almost always behind a pay wall so that's what stops them typically from being on the internet. Thanks for watching!
And wheel lug nuts are torqued to 140 ft. Lb.
Thank you for the info !
I'd rather listen to the air tools than that music. And I hate air tool noise.
The problem is there is other people around playing music and I don't want to get demonized. Thanks for watching Tim!
02 Chevy Tahoe LS??
Yep that’s this. Thanks for watching!
What? 2003 don't need to have their brakes bled afterwards?
If you don't open the system there is no way for air to get in. So you don't need to bleed them. Thanks for watching!
another surprise...must use a 19mm wrench to hold the inside of the caliper bolt. Otherwise it will spin with no result.
does the vehicle in this video have ABS?
+hunky-dory yes it does :)
Thank you for your reply. The video was very good. I followed it precisely and got really good results. Thanks for taking the time to make it and post it.

Bolts sizes would’ve been more helpful
‘Using the appropriate sized socket’
Groovy
easy to follow instruction video, but terrible background music.
Slide pin wrench size yo
Those aluminum caliper's are the biggest piece of garbage on the planet. You spend so much money on one of these vehicles and they put that kind of crap on a vehicle. I think they should stand behind everyone of these aluminum calipers, then they would get the message. But instead the customer has to eat it! Nothing but a money pit!!
👍👍👍👍👍
Jazz + Hard rock, not good background music
you need to specify that this is the rear brake
Says it in the title. Thank you for watching!
2CarPros haha I apologize. don't know how i missed it. but thanks the video helped. just suscrbed
What's with the 70's porn music?
It's free use. Thanks for watching!
LOOSE THE MUSIC!
Mickey Mouse!
use an anti-seeze lube on the caliper bracket bolts and tighten to 130
