• Q: How to replace the rear Brake Disc on dual wheels on 2006 Chevrolet Express 1500?

  A: Vehicles with dual wheels need their rear brake rotor replacement process to begin with releasing the parking brake after raising the vehicle for support. Take off the tire while removing the wheel assembly followed by removal of the hub and rotor assembly with record maintenance of their hub-to-rotor alignment. Set the hub and rotor assembly on a hydraulic press until all wheel studs push out from their original position. Installation of new wheel studs requires placing the stud and adding four washers onto it before securing a lug nut which exposes its flat side to the washers. Use a torque wrench to snug the lug nut which will pull the stud forward until both the hub clasps tightly against the rotor while pushing the stud fully into position. After removing the lug nut and washers leave the assembly for installation. Place back the hub and rotor parts onto the vehicle before adding tires and wheels and carrying out the vehicle reduction process. The user should engage the brake while the engine remains off so they can move the pedal from zero to two thirds of its range before letting it return. The seating process should occur multiple times during 15 seconds intervals until Brake Caliper Piston seating along with pad positioning reaches a solid stage. As a final step complete the master cylinder reservoir with clean brake fluid until it reaches its correct level.
