Thanks for listing the sizes of the sockets, etc. It definitely helps to know what tools you'll need BEFORE you get the wheels off and start the job. Nothing like getting in there and realizing you need to button things back up because you have to go buy a simple socket...
Great video. Thank you. It really helped. One addition: the caliper slide bolts that you described (12mm machine bolts) are T55 Torx bolts on a 2002 Silverado 2500 HD.
1:35 This is where I was to give up. Thanks for the great footage and excellent demonstration of step by step. 1A Auto is my first stop for all great reliable part for car I ever bought and a lot of thanks to all you great guys.
+Juan Lopez Thank you for you order. The Nakamoto brakes that we carry are awesome! If you could leave us a Google review it would be greatly appreciated. Here's a link to our Google reviews. Have a great day! goo.gl/Id4soE
All of these 1aAuto videos are awesome. Thank you guys for listing torque specs on all these parts and the sizes. Makes this job a whole lot easier. :)
Be careful! These trucks/SUV's come with either single piston or Two Piston calipers. This matters! The brake pads are different sizes.Make sure you know what is on your truck before you buy.
That's an excellent point, as I found out yesterday when I went to put on my new brake pads that are listed for my specific 2002 Chevy Suburban 1500 4 wheel drive, and they ended up being around 2 - 3 inches too short/small! Exchanged them for the correct size today, which ended up being about $18 more but now I know!
Made clear and simple for a wannabe shade tree mechanic like me! Thanks... would gladly buy parts from you but I need them now... metal to metal already so we can't wait... thanks again guys!

thanks for taking the time & the expertise to show us how its done I have so many vehicles I cant remember everything. its nice to pull up u-tube & see these videos. makes the job so much easier thank u. cut my time in half & greatly appreciated. keep up the good work.
There are two types of rear brake rotors for this SUVs' The ones with the single a piston and the ones like this with two piston caliper shown here which takes the larger size brake pads!.
It’s interesting to see your guy putting the pad with the wear indicator on the incorrect spot. The pad with the wear indicator should be placed on the same side as the brake calliper piston(s), on a lead position. Your guy place it on the outside which is opposite to the piston side on this vehicle. By doing this, the wear indicator no longer is on the lead position when going forward.
+goldigums Thanks for watching. We carry the Nakamoto brake shown in this video on our website. Here's a link to them if you need to replace yours.

Just a question what holds the rotor in place. Once I put the calipers holders back in place I feel like the rotor need to be firm and not loose or does the rotor get tighten once the tires is put back
+diego anguisaca Thanks for checking us out! While you are putting the caliper back on, you should use one of the nuts to keep the rotor snug and in place. When the caliper is back on in the correct position, remove this nut and put the tire back on. When you tighten these, it will keep everything in place.
DISCLAIMER: MIS-LEADING TITLE. it should be Noted Silverado's will require different size tools to remove caliper, even from same manufacture dates as listed above. Point in case my 2004 Silverado required a T55 star wrench to remove the caliber. Time to reinstall my wheel and off back to the auto store I go!
+James Steel This video is applicable to the 00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, Chevy Suburban, or Tahoe; or GMC Yukon. The other models including Silverados may require different sized tools. Thanks for watching.
Thats exactly my point. Its a misleading title. It should be 'How to change the brakes on a 00-06 surburban, tahoe, or yukon". Not a silverado if the video is not applicable to the model. Anywho, love the videos though thanks!
I know this is a year late but I feel that you've mis-read the title! It clearly says REAR brakes and I've only encountered the Torx head guide pins on the FRONT calipers of GM trucks.
+April can Tauanuu Thanks for watching. We carry the replacement part shown in this video on our website. Here is a link to them, if any of our viewers needs to make this repair www.1aauto.com/brake-pad-and-rotor-kit-rear/i/1abfs00307?RU-vid&CTA+Comment&RRnGAiGuvK4
I know its off topic but i cant seem to find a video as detailed as your videos are, but do you have a video on removing and installing the leaf springs. I have a 2000 silverado 1500.
Thank you for watching. Unfortunately we do not have a video for your application. We will keep this repair in mind for future videos. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
💥 Excellent video. I tried my best but could not get the driver side drum off of my ‘01 Express 3500 van even after soaking it with penetrating oil and striking it with a hammer. I brought it to my mechanic and $730 later it was done. I drove 4 miles from his shop and as I took a left turn to enter a highway the rear wheel separated from the van and extended out 2 feet on the axle. The mechanic says it’s not his fault since he didn’t do anything with the axle although he gave the drum a good beating with a hammer to get the job done. The nut on the end of the hub that holds the axle in place spun loose and the axle slid out…. Does anyone know how that could have happened…?? I think it’s much too coincidental that it happened only a couple miles after he did the brake job for him not to own up to the problem. 🤟🏼🇺🇸
With the two different rear rotor sizes, is it possible to put the wrong size on?? Different thickness...what would happen if the wrong size was put on. How would I know? And also how critical if the wrong size was put on... Thanks again man J
+Abel Aguilar Thanks for watching! The rotor will be secured into place when you put the wheel back on. If it is still loose at that point then there is something wrong! 1aauto.com
5:30 Only you didn't show what happended to the clip on top of pads & between clipper's roof and pads top? In next sequence I see it is in place, but it has 2 different sides, which is in and which is out side?
In video, it looks like a new dust shield is there when new rotor is put on. Is that included or can that a separate part? Is that part easy to install? Just thinking if I get it all apart, might as well do other stuff in the way too.
It's a little involved. Here's a video that shows what needs to be done to replace it. Hope this helps you out ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MiD9Z-rPXV8.html
+Jesus Suarez It depends on what is causing the noise. If the brakes are low and are the cause of the noise, that it should resolve the issue. Thanks for watching.

+Luis Fernandez This depends on the condition of the clips the pads sit in. It is a personal preference, but with each brake pad replacement I prefer putting new clips in. If you have 4wd, then please check out our hardware kit at www.1aauto.com/caliper-hardware-kit/i/1abrx00025?f=841271&y=2005
+Beto G Thanks for checking us out! We create these videos for demonstration purposes so our customers can perform their own repairs. The vehicles we use don't necessarily need the job done when we do the repair. 1aauto.com
+Jake Germain You shouldn't have to unless for some reason the brakes do not feel quite right after the repair. If the pedal feel soft, this might help.
