1994 - 2000 OBS GM 8-Lug K Trucks Front Disc Brake Overhaul Chevy GMC (rotor caliper hose pads)

[@benkanobe7500]

You do THE Best KZbin videos and really great to get the links as well. Thank You.

[@MrBowNaxe]

Excellent video! Rewatching it before replacing my calipers, rotors, hoses and hubs. Thanks again for posting.

EXCELLENT super thorough and meticulous job! Most videos forget at least a couple details but I can't think of one you missed. I couldn't believe that these slider pin sleeves were supposed to move freely after seeing how stuck in my caliper they were (took almost half an hour to hammer them out)....and the most surprising part is that my Suburban only has 146k miles and has lived all its life in CA...I can't imagine how much more difficult it would be for people in the rust belt states

[@rickyrandyrich]

Excellent video with discussion of complete preventitive maintenence issues and disassembly/rebuild of entire brake job. Reminded me of listening to my dad training me when I was young. You are a great teacher, sir !!

[@wrotedog]

I just went to autozone and bought a new front right bearing $102 assembly and separate rotor $65. Assembled it by watching your video with new studs. A buddy assisted by talking about his home like to keep me motivated lol. I must say it was quite easy after 2 hrs completed.. Used bearing grease and sandpaper to clean it and lube it as you did.. Bravo Zulu and yes all is fine now.

Tha is for the video! Caliper on my 1 ton locked up. Doing both as they are 21 years old!

Excellent video about overhauling the complete front brake system. My project involves a 95 Rally STX window G2500 van. I've watched a few videos. This one has much more detail. 👍👍

[@awbjwc]

Really awesome video!! You saved me A LOT of time and from having to do extensive research for torque values! I do recommend to anybody else doing this to replace your ABS sensors while you are there. You'll thank me later XD This is now my 2nd time taking all this off...... UGH...

DrShock, Another awesome video for the K Trucks, really appreciate your knowledge and hard work installing a FULL front disc brake major overhaul 1995-2000 GM 8 lug trucks. Looking forward to seeing the next video sir. Keep up the great work sir

[@patrickbranchini378]

This applies to 1994 K2500 6.5 diesel as well. You saved my weekend. Thanks, man.

[@DrShock]

Thanx, appreciate the comment. I updated the title and description to include 94's now. ;-)

[@wrotedog]

27:49 so true. Most thourough video on k2500 4x4 front hubs on the internet.

[@SteveSnowman]

That Craftsman 20" 1/2 in beaker bar is nice.

[@ZR2Blazer]

My 92 k-25 Suburban has the same setup

[@jreyman]

Caliper bolts may also be Torx T55, instead of 9mm Allen.

[@gregdegani]

I got 255,000 miles out of my 2000 Silverado 2500 Disk brakes...They still had not hit the Sqeelers yet!

[@MrRoy-rb1je]

Outstanding!

[@brianbvachek3219]

Nice video man! Any idea where to get replacement bolts for the hub? Mine look pretty rounded off like a couple of yours did. I want to try to get all the parts before i tear it apart. Thanks!!

[@DrShock]

That affiliate search link in the description will pull up any of the parts, including those bolts, listed on eBay at the time. But here's one just for the bolts for ya - ebay.us/WjIJya

[@autostuff8971]

Nice video!

[@ballbeanking]

Thanks so much

[@danielholtzapple7124]

What I don't understand is if the bolts are a known problem why not replace them with upgraded bolts.

[@DrShock]

There's nothing better than GM OEM fastener wise. Due to the knuckle design, the recess area requires a non-standard bolt shouldered type head size.

[@Justinomg1]

What about the oil seal that goes in the hub assembly ?

[@DrShock]

Not following your question, the GM 4x4 hub assembly on these year trucks is a sealed unit. No serviceable seals there, are you perhaps asking about the axle shaft seal?

[@gregsilva1472]

What was the torque for the axle nut?

[@DrShock]

Can't believe I didn't mention that, 165 ft lbs for that 1998 K2500 shown. These values can vary depending on the model year.

the ads suck

The WS 9.8 bolt and the ABN 10.9 bolt are both metric bolts that are used in various applications. The strength of a bolt is determined by its property class, which is described by a number that indicates the minimum tensile strength of the bolt 1. The WS 9.8 bolt has a minimum tensile strength of 900 N/mm² 1. The ABN 10.9 bolt has a minimum tensile strength of 1000 N/mm² 1. This means that the ABN 10.9 bolt is stronger than the WS 9.8 bolt.
