Q: How to replace the Brake Calipers on Chevrolet Colorado?
A: To remove the brake caliper a person first has to take off the tire and the wheel, then disconnect the brake hose from the car brake caliper while making sure copper gaskets are not stuck on the caliper nor on the hose. Replace and remove the old copper gaskets by installing NEW copper gaskets. Use rubber plug (or equivalent) to seal the end of brake hose to reduce excessive break fluid loss and contamination. After that, remove the brake caliper slide pin bolts and pull brake caliper off the mounting bracket. For installation, mount the brake caliper assembly to the mounting bracket while installing the guide pin bolts and fixing with 40 Nm (29 ft. lbs). Remove the rubber plugs from the brake hose, then install new copper gaskets, and bolt on the brake hose, tightening the brake hose bolt into 40 Nm (29 ft. lbs.). Finally, bleed the system, replace the tirer and wheel, and bring the vehicle rammed.
Q: How to replace the rear brake calipers on Chevrolet S10?
A: After lifting the vehicle you must take off the tire and wheel before working on the brake caliper. Unfasten and separate the brake hose from the Brake Caliper Bolt while taking out any stuck metal gaskets on the hose ends and caliper surface. Seal the front brake hose opening using a rubber plug to keep brake fluid from leaking and getting contaminated. Separate the brake caliper from the caliper anchor bracket through its guide pin bolts. When you reuse the brake caliper pin bolts and retainers clean them with denatured alcohol before drying them with filtered compressed non-lubricated air. Put high-temperature silicone brake lubricant on brake caliper bolts except for brake pad hardware areas. Place the brake caliper on its bracket mount and attach it with brake caliper bolts before tightening them to 23 ft. Lbs. To attach the new metal brake hose gasket use a 44 nm torque setting during installation with the bolt. Let out the hydraulic brake fluid then put back the tire and wheel while lowering the car.
Q: How to replace the rear brake calipers bracket on Chevrolet Tahoe?
A: You must begin by suspending the brake caliper with heavy mechanic's wire combined with the connection of the hydraulic flexible brake hose to avoid damage. Start by detaching the brake caliper from its bracket but leave the hose connected after which you can uninstall the brake pads and anti-rattle clips from the caliper bracket. You must remove the two Brake Caliper Bracket mounting bolts and the bracket components from the structure. Afterward clean any debris off the inside bracket ends while treating the mounting surface. Before applying the Brake Caliper Bracket mounting bolts position the bracket followed by removing all traces of original adhesive and cleaning bolt threads with denatured alcohol and applying threadlocker gm p/n 12345493 (Canadian P/N 10953488). The caliper bracket mounting bolts require a torque of 200 nm when installing jc5/jh5 system vehicles or 165 nm for jh6 systems. Brake systems using jc5/jh5 require 200 nm (148 ft. Lbs.) torque while jh6 systems need 165 nm (122 ft. Lbs.). For jh6 systems. Make sure to put the brake pads back in position while verifying they hit the rotor before fastening the bracket. For finishing the job replace the anti-rattle clips. Install the brake caliper while putting on the tire and wheel assembly then lower the vehicle until you slowly apply the Brake Pedal once to 2/3 its travel before letting it return to its original position. Apply each brake caliper with 200 nm torque utilizing a torque wrench before waiting 15 seconds for proper Brake Pad and caliper piston seating.
