  Q: How to replace the rear brake pads (All except 1500 Series W/O NYS) on Chevrolet Silverado 2500?

  A: Before replacing the rear brake pads for all except 1500 series w/o nys check the brake master cylinder reservoir fluid level. If it sits between the minimum and maximum points you can start without draining fluid but draining is needed when the fluid level reaches the maximum point. Lift up the vehicle then take off both tire and wheel parts. Assemble heavy mechanic's wire fasteners to support the brake caliper when it has disconnected from its mounting bracket to shield the hydraulic flexible brake hose from injury. Check the brake caliper assembly without detaching the hydraulic brake hose before taking it off from the mount plate. Disc brake pads should be taken out from the mounting bracket with anti-rattle clips going in the trash. After you put new anti-rattle clips on the mounting bracket install the disc brake pads before putting back the brake caliper. Put back the wheel and tire in place then take out the safety stands while lowering the vehicle. When the engine is turned off apply pressure to the brake pedal until it reaches 2/3 of its stretching range then let it go followed by repeating this motion until the brake caliper buttons rest accurately with the pads. Complete the brake fluid tank with fresh fluid before finishing the pad and wheel surface burnishing steps.
