Chevy C30 Front Rotor Replacement

[@ronsmurff10]

We're about to tackle front rotor tomorrow and this video is really really helpful.thank you

[@dantaeplur]

Just wanted to say, thanks for this. I was dreading doing it on my 83, but I couldn't find a single video of someone doing it on a 2wd other than this one. Helped out a lot, and THANK YOU for including part numbers.

[@anthonycason8415]

Thank you so much for this video. I set out to change the same rotors and could not figure out how to get them off. The screwdriver in the hole is genius. I could not figure out that access. Thanks again and very professionaly done. God bless.

[@chuck1607]

Thank you for this video. That little 'peep' hole is what REALLY helped me out. I can't believe I didn't see that hole.

[@garypacholek8070]

I have done many rear brakes on these vehicles, but never replaced front rotors. Your video was very helpful. Thank you.

[@Phuq_it]

Spot on! Nothing to criticize about… im working on a 1991 c3500 454 dually. I’ve had all the parts since 2016. I totally forgot how. Thank you

[@adamcaudill2677]

Great video! Help me realize somebody installed squarebody front dually brakes on my OBS dually. Replacing all with the OBS but definitely learned from your video! Thanks👍🏻

[@marklivingston1479]

I also thought it was a drain hole! Thank you for the video, very helpful!

Many thanks from here in the UK Just in the midst of calipers,rotors etc on our 85 chevy motorhome based on that chassis. Thanks for the hard work

[@sterileneutrino2288]

Great video I was wondering how to get that grease cap off. Never did I think of looking for a access hole. Thanks😀

[@chuckdogg2846]

Thank you so much for this video. My truck the same kind of rotor setup and could not find a video showing how to do it. I finally ran across your video and it was just what I needed. I don't why it didn't show up before when I was looking, but I'm glad it showed up today. Good job explaining step by step. I will like and subscribe in case you do more videos on this type of truck. Thanks Again!

[@alexvelez2141]

Thanks for the help. Greatly appreciated

[@cracktakulour]

Great Video. Each step was clear. Tips were awesome. ad libbing "keep it centered you don't want drag" Seriously, you help me out a lot so if that is what you wanted to do, you did.

[@daniel326935]

Thank you my friend 😔 I am doing this fix as soonest we get good weather

[@davidcooper2856]

My bearings were too tight or too loose when aligning the castle nut to cotter pin hole so I used hardened valve spring shims .030 under nut to get proper bearing preload.

[@justinsmith847]

Thanks just what I needed to know

[@Friedfroglegs]

Excellent first video. Thanks

[@cracktakulour]

OH I also really like your garage. I have that same shop vac, and *laughs* maybe that portable kit *laughs* good fun, if it wasn't for the lift I was like who is this guy in my garage! ;)

[@leitnertrucking661]

Thanks for the details much appreciated

[@Jeremiah.1]

Excellent video thanks for sharing keep up !

[@happymotoring4674]

great info, thanks for your effort.

[@kittyfanatic1980]

So they don’t recommend to pre load the bearings on the c/g series 1tons? Good to know because normally you’d preload and back off

[@ahmirbaileysfitness5642]

Will this work on my 97 because it looks the exact same

[@weisell-2383]

have 1 question , after removing wedge caliper do you have to remove the bracket that holds the caliper before removing hub/rotor assembly ?

[@mikesgarage1518]

the bracket is part of the knuckle so does not get removed

[@weisell-2383]

@@mikesgarage1518 Thank you for answering me so fast and now I know what to do . Other vehicles you had to remove the caliper bracket cause it sat in front of rotor but this looks fairly cut and dry just pull off wedge set to the side and pull off rotor .

[@christopherdelacruz894]

I can’t get the assembly off. I had my driver side bearings blow out and after removing everything, minus the outer bearing because it’s super stuck. I can’t get the hub rotor assembly off. Any tips?

[@mikep4440]

This was my first and only time doing this so don't have experience with a stuck one, only thing I can think of is a sledge hammer?

[@chadrowe8452]

It may have welded itself together

[@k5blazerman956]

might need to change the spindle ? or cut the rotor in half

[@scotthoward9133]

Try a slide hammer with a two way puller or a small die grinder and cut the bearing n race out

[@billygreenhorn9275]

Great video! Thank you!

[@SuperBayarea87]

Great Job

[@eliasG303]

How tight is the nut supposed to be

[@mikep4440]

this is in the video around the 8:30 mark, 12 ft lbs while turning then back off and hand tighten

[@eliasG303]

@@mikep4440 I seen after posting lol. My bad

[@eliasG303]

How the hell does the bearing hold all that weight with a hand tight nut?

[@Jmg831]

I can’t for THE LIFE OF ME find ANY brake parts online for my 1978 Silverado C30 camper special edition (454 V8) anywhere! Any recommendations?

[@mikesgarage1518]

I got all my parts from RockAuto for this truck, should be able to find your parts there.
