2014-2018 Silverado rear brake pads and rotors replacement 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018

In this video I show how to replace the rear brakes on a 2014-2018 Silverado. The threaded holes in the rotor are metric 10 x 1.5 thread pitch, which aid in removing the rotor

[@moisesgarcia4063]

Just got my breaks and rotors done on my Silverado 2014 my self, I gotta say your video helped alottt specially the parts where you would mention the foot pounds needed to torque!

[@robguysgarage5422]

Awesome, glad it helped, thanks for watching

[@Cubanpapi04]

Great Video to creator.. here are some helpful tips.. sockets needed for rear brake system (just to replace pads & rotors) are 13mm for guide bolts, 18mm for brake bracket (mounted to hub), **how to remove the seized rotor that is stuck like in the video.. DO NOT USE HAMMER & Make sure you do not have parking brake on (ask me how I know that!).. easier method.. use the 13mm guide bolts (yes these are the correct size & thread) and put them in the threaded holes on the rotor and screw them in simultaneously (little by little on each side)... Torque Specs-- 38ft/lbs for 13mm guide bolts, 148ft/lbs for bracket 18mm bolts... wheel lug nuts depends on your wheels.. I think stock is 22mm... I have aftermarket and they are 19mm.. I normally set them to 140-145ft/lbs. I know video is old by KZbin standards, but it is a great video.. and hope my comment helps others out.

Quick and simple, right to the point. Thanks

[@YooperDanO]

Bravo! First time I watched one of these where someone put neverseeze on the hub/pilot that receives the wheel. Makes it ease to remove the wheel the next tire rotation or if you have a flat on the road! Great video.

[@robguysgarage5422]

Thanks!, in our area anti-seize is a must

[@MrDausen]

Thanks for the upload, great detailed videos like yours save me time! I’m doing my dads 2015 Silverado today

[@robguysgarage5422]

Awesome, glad it belped

[@matto4539]

I think the screw holes your referring to are jack outs. You can put bolts in them and a couple turns at a time alternating back and forth use them to extract the rotor from the hub when removing it as opposed to the mini sledge operation you demonstrated!

[@robguysgarage5422]

Yeah, I can't remember if those rotor holes are threaded or not if they are then you could use screws to help get the rotor off, thanks for watching

18mm impact socket and a impact works perfect to remove those caliper bracket bolts. I just did it.

[@robguysgarage5422]

Cool!

[@lconger]

When I retract the piston, I use the old pad against the piston instead of direct clamp engagement. It allows for more even pressure (no strain on seals) and prevents scarring of piston.

[@robguysgarage5422]

good advice

[@evodiozepeda7002]

How many foot/pound torque wrench is good enough? Is up to 150 good enough or is up to 250 better for this kind job?

[@robguysgarage5422]

150 should be good enough

[@carolinacoins]

I have a 2018 I'll be changing breaks on soon. I wrote down the torque values. Thanks for posting. In your opinion, with 84,000 miles. Do I need to replace the rotors? No shake, shimmy or vibration.

[@robguysgarage5422]

I used to put new rotors on every time, but lately have tried just pads and it has worked great every time so far

[@IvanLopez-zy7oo]

Do the front and rear rotors have that whole where u can screw in a 8 m and 10m bolt to help push the rotor off the hub?

[@robguysgarage5422]

The rears have a metric 10 x1.5 thread pitch, not sure about the front rotors I can't remember if they do or not

[@Teebz]

Lowkey after pricing out just the rear rotors at shops. My estimate was $328 for just rear rotors and install. I think it's worth it. Because they haven't been changed in 10 years lmao. I can already see myself struggling with my Harbor Freight tools and I don't want to. LMAO

[@rgvcateye9058]

Did you forget to crack open the master cylinder reservoir cap before pushing the pistons back?

[@robguysgarage5422]

No never do, if you push the piston back slowly it won't push out of the cap

[@evodiozepeda7002]

Will a 2 1/2 ton jack work just fine?

[@robguysgarage5422]

Definitely

[@angelholston22]

So you only use the c clamp for the calipers? We are starting on our 2014 Chevy Silverado tomorrow doing them ourselves. I’m researching so I can help my husband

[@robguysgarage5422]

Yes, just a c clamp will work

[@77dddraiders38]

I'm not a pro but I thought I push down on the bracket bolts? I know on the front driver side you push down and on the front passenger side you pull up lossen the bolts, is it the same for the rear? Like I said I'm not a mechanic but want to do my rear brakes/rotors on my 2017 chevy silverado.

[@robguysgarage5422]

It just a regularly bolt, if your looking at the rotor and wheel studs then your ratchet would go clockwise to loosen the bolt

[@ricknichol260]

We try to order brake lines and it's asking me do I have dual drop lines or single how can you tell without climbing under the truck

[@robguysgarage5422]

Never heard the term drop lines, usually there's a single line going to the back that splits and individual lines up front after the abs box

[@richardhartenstein0070]

What did you use on the hub so the rotor would come off easier next time? You didn't say.

[@robguysgarage5422]

Silver anti seize

[@waltermaley9521]

The threaded holes in rotor are actually for getting rotor off. You put threaded bolts in to them and turn them, they will bring rotor off.

[@robguysgarage5422]

That doesn't work on these trucks, the rotor holes are not threaded

[@restauffer]

Just did this job today and the rotors I used had threaded holes. Two bolts pop them right off.

[@77dddraiders38]

Awesome video! I thought when removing caliper/bracket bolts you pull up and to tighten push down?

[@robguysgarage5422]

Thanks, it depends on which way your ratchet handle is facing to tighten it loosen the bolts

[@blackhouse7646]

Nice job. Are you using a 3 ton jack stand? Also did you use that for the front? Also, when you were pushing the brake cylinder did you bleed the brake valve or just push them in?

[@robguysgarage5422]

Yes, I used 3 ton jack stands, and you just press the piston into the caliper like you would on a front caliper

[@blackhouse7646]

@@robguysgarage5422 would that not damage the lines? Would it be okay to release the oil by the oil nut on the caliper and put new break oil back?

[@robguysgarage5422]

@@blackhouse7646 no it doesn't damage the lines, if you open the bleeder screw you may have to bleed the brakes if you get air in the lines, there's good videos on youtube about changing the brake fluid if you want to

[@ericgil7209]

What happens if you let the caliper hang on the ground

[@robguysgarage5422]

The weight of it could damage the hose

[@Jbmc65]

I didn’t get a chance to see the Jack you used, I would love an air jack because I’m going to buy a new one anyhow, might as buy one like yours. What brand is it?

[@robguysgarage5422]

I sort of made that jack, I welded a Harbor Freight air jack into a Sears 3 ton jack frame and I love it, it makes lifting my trucks very easy, thanks!

No need for a brake flush?

[@robguysgarage5422]

It's probably a good idea, I have done it before my truck, but that would be a different video by itself for me

[@shawnbreaux1532]

Spent all that money i needed for sockets that you specified in the video, not a single one worked. 22 is too large and 3/8ths is too small.

[@robguysgarage5422]

the lug nuts do use a 22mm socket, and there is no mention of a 3/8 in the video, maybe you are referring to the 38 foot pounds of torque on the calper bolts, Chevy hasn't used a 3/8 headed bolt in at least 20 years, hope this helps

[@davehottenstein5315]

Definitely not an HD, no room at all to get a caliper pin tool in there. Those 18 mm bolts? You must have had those pre loosened
