Question 1

How to Replace the Brake Disc on GMC Canyon?

Accepted Answer

Check the brake master cylinder reservoir fluid level first to replace the Brake Disc. You need no brake fluid removal if the level stays between maximum-full and minimum lines but take some fluid to the midway point if it exceeds maximum-full. Position the Wheel Hub component on its suspension using two blocks of wood before taking out the Wheel Hub assembly. Use tools to separate the Wheel Hub/speed sensor bolt connection with the Brake Disc then remove the Brake Disc from the Wheel Bearing/hub assembly for cleaning of the contact areas. Everyone the Wheel Bearing/hub assembly on the Brake Disc and screw in its bolts. Start with cross-thread tightening to 20 n.m (15 lb ft) then re-tighten to 110 n.m (81 lb ft). Put the Wheel Bearing unit into the Steering Knuckle and place the vehicle back on the ground to check brake fluid levels. Finally, burnish the brakes.

Question 2

How to replace the rear brake disc on a 1500 Series on GMC Yukon?

Accepted Answer

Before replacing the rear Brake Disc on a 1500 series vehicle check the brake master cylinder reservoir fluid level; you must lower it to the midpoint between the maximum-full and minimum marks when the current level is above that point. You can drive the vehicle only if necessary before hoisting it up. Position a large c-clamp over the caliper housing against its back plate to push the caliper piston into its bore until complete retraction. Use mechanic wire to support the brake caliper when you extract the assembly together with the brake bracket to stop damaging the hydraulic flexible brake hose during service. When keeping the original Brake Disc mark its position on the hub before adjusting park brake function and taking off push nuts from disc parts. Soak wheel studs in penetrating oil then fasten lungs nuts onto them. Use a dead blow hammer to tap the disc until it loosens before you take off all lug nuts and the disc from the axle flange. Apply wheel hub and disc resurfacing tools j-42450-a and j-41013 to remove all rust and particles from hub/axle flange and Brake Disc contacting surfaces. Put the disc in place and fix back the caliper and its bracket. Take out the factory adhesive from threads and clean them using denatured alcohol before installing Brake Caliper Bracket mounting bolts. Apply threadlocker gm p/n 12345493 (Canadian P/N 10953488). Fasten the bolts to 165 nm, check the parking brake action, and place the tire with the wheel back on position. After turning off the engine press the Brake Pedal about two-thirds of its distance and let it go remembering these steps until you find the firm pedal linkage to position the caliper pistons and pads correctly. After filling the master cylinder to match the fluid necessities, brush the new disc surface against the pads to increase the braking effect.

Question 3

How to replace the front brake disc on the 1500 Series on GMC Sierra 1500?

Accepted Answer

Begin the front Brake Disc replacement process by having the rotor resurfacing kit (J 41013) and wheel hub resurfacing kit (J 42450-A). First check the brake master cylinder fluid level and drain fluid until the mark reaches the middle point. Take off the wheel and tire unit to record how the disc sits against the hub. Place two big c-clamps on the brake caliper pistons to compress them before taking out the caliper bracket bolts. Keep the caliper assembly supported below the hydraulic brake hose rather than disconnecting it. Detach the Brake Disc retaining parts from inside the wheel if necessary while putting a deadblow hammer to separate the hub or disc from each other. Remove all rust and debris from the hub/axle flange and Brake Disc contact surfaces using j 42450-a wheel hub resurfacing kit and j 41013 rotor resurfacing kit. Rephrase verbalization when possible. Check if the disc removal with jack screw method made nicks on the hub flange while inspecting the mating areas. At last place the disc over the hub and fasten it using the Brake Disc screw until the torque reaches 12nm (106 inch lbs.). The assembled lateral runout measurement of the disc should be taken, and adjustments should be made when needed. Reinstall the caliper and bracket together while applying threadlocker gm 12345493 to the bolts and tightening them to 180 nm (133 ft.lbs.). Put the tire wheel assembly back in place after lowering the vehicle and apply the brake pedal slowly with the engine stopped. Adjust caliper pistons and pads by topping up clean brake fluid when needed.
