  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.

  Q: How to replace the front brake pads on Chevrolet Silverado 2500?

  A:

  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.
