2003 GMC Safari Brake Pad Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the rear brake pads on 2003 GMC Safari?

  A: First check your brake master cylinder reservoir fluid level since no addition is required when it rests at the midway point between maximum and minimum lines. If the fluid is above this point you should reduce it to the correct level. Lift the vehicle safely before taking out the tire and wheel unit. Press a c-clamp slowly to bottom the caliper pistons and move them into proper position. Keep the brake caliper stable with mechanic's wire when you separate it from its mount and keep the brake pipe line connected to avoid harm. Support the brake caliper before detaching it from the mounting bracket and keeping the hydraulic brake flexible hose intact. Examine the caliper components but remove brake pads along with the anti-rattle clips from the brake caliper attachment bracket. To reinstall the brake assembly place anti-rattle clips on Brake Caliper Bracket before putting brake pads and brake caliper back on. After reinstating the wheel put the car down again, and press the brake pedal 2/3 of the way while stopping at zero rpm. Press and release the brake pedal twice every 15 seconds until you feel a strong pressure to help the brake caliper pistons settle into place with the brake pads. Complete the master cylinder reservoir with clean brake fluid and perform pad and rotor burnishing when needed.
