Chevys are pretty easy. Make sure you have the correct tool to remove the caliper studs and your pretty much set. Remove the fluid resevoir on the master cylinder. Raise the vehicle and use jack stands. Remove the wheel. Have a strong box ready to lay the caliper on. Remove the caliper bolts and lift off the caliper. Careful not to pull or twist the brake line. Remove the old pads. Use a vise clamp to press the pistons in slowly. Check for worn or leaking boots and seals and replace if neccessary. Install new brake shoes. Scuff the surface of the rotor with 100 grit sandpaper on both sides of the rotor. Reinstall the caliper. Reinstall the wheel and lower the vehicle. Pump the pedal to adjust the new pads. Repeat for the opposite side.How to change the front brake pads on a truck?
You dont need a manual.All you have to do is break your lugs nuts loose,jack it up and take the tire off.That round thingy youll be looking at is called a rotor.On the back side of the rotor youll find 2 bolts 1 on top 1 on bottom.These usually take a 9/16 wrench.You will have to check on right size.Take out the two bolts on back side of rotor and lift caliper up and off.Thats the thingy that holds brake pads.Remove old pads.when you remove old pads youll see a cylinder in middle of caliper.You have to push that back in as far as it will go.I always use a c-clamp to force it back.Once youve down that put in new pads put back on rotor and put the 2 bolts back in,put tire back on,Youre done,That simple
