    Q:
    How to replace brake calipers on Chevrolet Express 2500? Posted by Customer
    A:
    To replace the brake caliper, one has to remove two-thirds of the brake fluid from the Brake Master Cylinder; then lift and support the vehicle with suitable safety stands. Next, you need to take out the tire and wheel, and compress in the front Brake Caliper Piston with the help of a c-clamp or pliers in the top part of the front brake caliper housing towards the inboard front Brake Pad. Separate the front brake hose from the front brake caliper and plug the front Brake Line to avoid moisture contamination of the brake fluid. Unscrew the front brake caliper bolts and pull off the front brake caliper from the front brake rotor cautiously, making sure not to polish off any corrosion. Check the front caliper bolts for corrosion and replace any imperfect parts and examine the caliper bolt bushings for any ciphers, cuts or corrosion and also to replace any imperfect bushings. For installation, attach the front brake caliper to the front brake rotor ensuring the bushings are in proper alignment before fitting the front brake caliper bolts and sleeves and soaking in silicone paste before bolting up to 51 nm (38 ft. Lbs.). Attach the front brake hose back onto the front brake caliper and determine the clearance of front brake caliper to bracket stops. If needed, the front brake caliper should be removed, and the ends of the bracket must be filed into a total clearance of 0,26-0,60mm (0,010-0,024 inch). To achieve custom clearances for each brake, this process is to measure the clearances separately and then put them together, bleeding the system. After installing the tire and wheel, completely fill the Brake Master Cylinder and pump the brake pedal several times before driving the vehicle, then checking the fluid in the Brake Master Cylinder. Finally mount the tire and wheel, inspect the braking system, take off the safety stands and lower the vehicle.
