Question 1

How to replace the disc brake pads on GMC Canyon?

Accepted Answer

To start the Brake Pad replacement process check the master cylinder reservoir fluid level first. Drain the fluid when the level is between the maximum and minimum markers until it reaches midway point. Lift the vehicle using jack stands and take out the tire while keeping the wheel in place. Apply the large c-clamp to both brake caliper sides while pressing them against the rear and outboard brake pads to compress the pistons. Secure the brake caliper safely in place with heavy mechanic wire after taking away the lower guide pin bolt. Push the caliper vertically to expose the brake pads then uninstall both pads from inside and outside. When changing brake pads replace the discarded shims and clean both sides of the caliper bracket unit. To put in new brake pads work with new Brake Pad shims before setting the outer and inner brake pads. Position the brake caliper on the Brake Caliper Bracket while keeping it stable with heavy mechanic wire and lowering it downward. Slide in and screw the lower brake caliper guide pin bolt until it reaches 64 nm (47 lb ft) tightness. Put the tire back in place, lower the vehicle and press the brake pedal 2/3 of its range with the engine off. Slowly release the pedal afterward. Apply your brake for 15 seconds and do it again until your brake pedal remains strong to ensure the brake caliper pistons and pads fit correctly. Complete the process by adding brake fluid to the master cylinder until it reaches its correct level and smooth out Brake Pad and rotor surfaces.

Question 2

How to replace the front brake pads on GMC Sierra 1500?

Accepted Answer

Check the brake master cylinder before starting work. If the fluid remains between the prescribed marks add nothing but lower the level when it sits above that range. First lift the vehicle and detach the wheel and tire set. Use heavy mechanics wire to hold up the brake caliper when you detach it from its mount to keep the hydraulic flexible hose safe during replacement. After detaching the hydraulic brake hose maintain the brake caliper connection and slide it out of its bracket. Extract the disc brake pads and discard the anti-rattle clips. Check the brake caliper unit parts for issues. Provide new anti-rattle clips to the mounting bracket then install the disc brake pads placing the inner pad with one wear indicator and the outer pad with two wear indicators. Replace the brake caliper and wheel parts one at a time before removing the safety stands while lowering the vehicle. Use the brake pedal to reach 2/3 of its movement before slowly releasing the pedal. Repeat this step until you achieve a solid brake feel to correctly position the brake caliper pistons and pads. After placing brake components back in place insert clean brake fluid into the reservoir to its correct amount then run the brake pads over the rotors to create a smooth braking surface.

Question 3

How to replace the front disc brake pads on the 2500 Series on GMC Yukon?

Accepted Answer

In order to change the front disc brake pads on the 2500 series, the first step is to check the level of fluid in the brake master cylinder reservoir; if the level is above the midpoint between maximum-full and minimum allowable points, stop up fluid to the point of midway. Lift up the vehicle and take away the tire and wheel assembly. Use two large c-clamps through the brake caliper pistons while lifting the two caliper pistons using the clamps on the back side of the outboard Brake Pad, trying to push until the two pistons are fully retracted. Take out the brake caliper guide pin bolts and be sure to secure the caliper with heavy mechanic wire to prevent hydraulic flexible brake hose damage. Remove the brake pads from the brake caliper and take note of the Brake Pad wear sensor if it has one. Removing the brake caliper from the bracket. Throw away the old Brake Pad retaining springs and check the brake caliper. To install, fix brand new Brake Pad retaining springs to the calciper bracket, align the new disc brake pads, and remodel the brake caliper. Secure the caliper and guide pin bolts tightened with force of 108 nm (80 lb ft) and re-install the tire and the wheel assembly with the lowering of the vehicle. With the engine off, approach the brake pedal to approximately 2/3 of its travel and then slowly let it off. This is repeated until a firm pedal is achieved for properly seating the caliper pistons and brake pads. Lastly, top up the brake master cylinder reservoir with fresh break fluid to the proper limit and burnish the brake pads and discs.
