  Q: How to replace the rear brake pads on Chevrolet Express 1500?

  A:

  Before working on the brake pads you must examine brake fluid levels in the master cylinder reservoir. Keep the fluid at middle ground if it currently rests there but decrease it if the fluid level sits higher. Lift the vehicle and take off the tire and wheel unit from the wheel space. Examine how the caliper works and press the pistons down slowly with a c-clamp after relocating the tool when needed. Installing heavy mechanic's wire or its equivalent between the brake caliper and its mount prevents leaks when you disconnect them from their mounting bracket while maintaining the connected hydraulic flexible brake hose. Take the brake caliper off its location, then check the unit for damage while noting where the parts fit before removing the brake pads from the Brake Caliper Bracket and getting rid of the anti-rattle snaps. Position the new brake pads on the caliper bracket exactly as you marked them for removal when putting the brake caliper onto its bracket and securing anti-rattle clips to their proper places. Install the tire and wheel parts then slowly lower the vehicle. Press on the brake pedal starting from zero until it reaches 2/3 of its distance before letting it go while the engine stays off. Press the brake pedal three times with 15-second intervals until the brake pedal becomes strong enough. This process sets the brake caliper pistons and pads correctly in their positions. End your work by adding new brake fluid to the master cylinder tank at its right amount and softly rubbing the brake pads against the rotors if needed.

  Q: How to replace the front brake pads on Chevrolet Express 1500?

  A:

  Begin by observing the brake master cylinder reservoir fluid level. If it lies at the midway point between marks on the tank you can skip this step but establish fluid levels by moving the fluid down when necessary. Lift the vehicle up and place supports underneath. Take off the tire and wheel set. Position the mechanic wire to support the brake caliper during maintenance since direct brake hose contact causes damage. Set the brake caliper aside from the mounting bracket keeping the hydraulic brake hose connected. Take out the brake pads and dispose of the anti-rattle clips located on the caliper mounting bracket. Check the caliper and mounting bracket then put new anti-rattle clips inside the caliper bracket ends before installing brake pads according to earlier removal orientation. Put the brake caliper back in place; add the tire and wheel; take down the safety stands; and slowly bring down the vehicle. When the engine is off you need to apply and release the brake pedal three times until your brake pedal feels firmly supported. Pour clean brake fluid into the master cylinder reservoir until the correct fill line is reached while using Brake Pad and rotor burnishing equipment.
