• Q: How to replace the rear disc brake pads on a dual rear wheels on 2009 Chevrolet Express 2500?

  A: Inspection of the brake master cylinder reservoir fluid must occur before beginning work on any vehicle with dual rear wheels. Brake technicians should lower fluid to the midway point when fluid level exceeds this mark. Lift your car securely and take away the wheel assembly next to the tire. Place a large c-clamp over the brake caliper body and attach it to the Brake Pad backing plate to lower brake caliper pistons into their bores slowly. Leaving the brake caliper guide pins intact is necessary except in specific replacement situations. Fix the brake caliper to a safe position through heavy mechanic wire to shield the hydraulic flexible brake hose from damage. You need to uninstall the brake caliper assembly with bracket plus both brake pads and Brake Pad springs. Wipe the contact points on the brake caliper bracket surface until they remain clean. Replace the brake caliper guide pin caps if they show wear or if they are not present. Examine the caliper hardware before unhinging the guide pins from the brake caliper. Put the Brake Pad springs and install them with the outer and inner Brake Pad. After washing the bolt threads of brake caliper bracket and rear axle use gm p/n 89021297 (Canadian P/N 10953488) threadlocker on 2/3 thread section of bolts and leave it to cure for ten minutes. Set the brake caliper and bracket assembly onto the rear axle and mount the brake caliper bracket bolts. Tighten them to 300nm (221 lb ft). Put back the tire and wheel unit. Make sure the engine remains off while you use the Brake Pedal half way down its travel range followed by releasing it slowly. Apply the Brake Pedal slowly three times to make sure brake pistons and pads are well positioned at the caliper. Complete the brake system with hydraulic fluid before working to seat the brake pads on the rotors.
