  Q: How to replace the rear brake pads on GMC Jimmy?

  A:

  You should remove the caliper from its position without disconnecting the brake hose and hang it with wire. Check the caliper bracket boots for damage then replace them if you spot tears or wear. Look at the piston boot for wear signs as well and get a new boot when needed. With evident metal corrosion on caliper bolts replace all parts including new bushings when you reinstall them. You need to wipe the caliper boot surface with denatured alcohol before adding new brake pads. Insert the Brake Pad into the caliper bracket with the sensors aimed toward the bottom edge of the pads as the wheels spin forward. Return the caliper in place then lower the vehicle. When the engine is turned off press the brake pedal one third of the way down and release it steadily. Keep pressing the brake pedal for 15 seconds then release it before starting from step one to properly position both brake pistons and pads. Add brake fluid into the master cylinder until it reaches the specified mark while running new brakes through a breaking process.

  Q: How to replace the front brake pads on a single piston caliper on GMC Jimmy?

  A:

  Using gm replacement brake lining materials ensures vehicle stability while braking by maintaining optimal Brake Pad performance in a single-piston caliper front brake system. First move away the caliper component while keeping the brake hose intact to avoid Brake Line damage. Use a wire to hang the caliper and then take off all Brake Pad parts from the inside lining to the retainer spring and lastly the outboard lining. Apply denatured alcohol to wipe the out surface of the caliper boot before installing new brake pads. Place the outboard brake lining first and add the retainer spring to the inner lining before setting the inner lining inside the caliper. After brake assembly placement position the caliper correctly and watch for bends and rotations of the hose. To finish the process apply the correct technique of Brake Pad burnishing.
