In this video, I will show you how to a brake job on a 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe. I will be upgrading the brakes on this Tahoe but the same rules apply for original parts.

Dude you made that look so easy 😅 thanks

[@thatfoojosh]

What size is the bolt for the caliper and the bracket for the rotors? You only mentioned the size of the wheel bolts.

[@WizardofGOP]

What size is "that guy down there" and "this guy right here"?

[@gregv6912]

new front pads in box had 3 back and one front side pad. Your video cleared it up, thanks

[@noesandoval1013]

Thanks I just changed my 2008 Escalade front brakes. I put Ceramic brakes. I feel like 90 %grip compared to metallic breaks. But yeah your video Helped same principle. Thanks

[@frankmurray9353]

I had a bad driver side motor mount and it was causing the Tahoe to shudder when braking. I can't see any issue with the rotor visually, but what would you think needs to be changed because they are still shuddering when braking after the mount was changed?

[@christorrey6271]

Wild wearing the same shoes! Hahai

[@phatrides222000]

I have heard the screw was 4mm allen and I heard its a star bit. I have to go to my friends house and do this tomorrow. Wich is it?

[@carloscastaneda4628]

[@thumpin_obs8843]

Do you know the size of sockets I need to take the brake caliper off

[@juanluna1097]

Excellent video and easy to follow procedure you displayed on your video. I will attempt to do my 2007 Tahoe brake this weekend. Where do I purchase the brake kit you showed on you video?

[@funnybusiness6491]

Hey there Juan, which brake kit did you end up going with?

[@funnybusiness6491]

Hey, thanks for the video and thorough instruction. I don’t know much about car parts and was wondering if you would recommend a brake kit that comes with everything in the video?

[@EMaN-no9sl]

Can you provide a link on this kit.

[@Humble_Jack]

I was wondering the same thing, I would rather buy a kit with everything to replace.

[@ljgaines8170]

After seeing quite a few this was the most helpful I have a question do you have to open your brake reservoir and also do you need to bleed the breaks when you are through thanks

[@Milkman3572000]

yes, or you will have a mess. Get a cheap turkey baster and remove some of the old fluid... if its really cloudy and dirty looking. not a required task as most people dont keep vehicles very long anyway.

[@xMICHAELxR]

Hi, I’m wondering if i have to grease the pads? Like i feel the legs do but idk if the back of the pad need to be grease to. Thank you

[@TheKjowrph]

What size is that c-lamp?

[@jayeff4457]

What did you use to press in the new rubber boot metal sleeve?

[@alfredocontreras3990]

Thank you for the video 👍

[@je25ff]

The three bolts on my 2011 Tahoe are so fused in I can't muscle them out. I have it up on two different jacks because I don't want to muscle it too much to make it tip. I WD-40'd the hell out of them. Any tips on loosening them up?

[@abeldominguez3163]

Impact wrench, like 30 bucks at Harbor Freight.

[@alexrodriguez5724]

Excellent video! Great details! 💯👌🏼

[@jesusmiranda6310]

Hey bro whats the part number for the original brake pads?

[@henryretter1609]

Excellent, Carlos, thank you.

[@BODYBUILDERS_AGAINST_FEMINISM]

Watched this whole video, taking mental notes, and at the end you were like "do the exact same thing again, for the other side" FUUUUUUUUUUHHH

[@familyguy1674]

Excellent video, is there a need to bleed the lines?

[@elmickyx1]

I would like to know this too

[@tinkv192]

@@elmickyx1 no you dont

[@danielgandara3342]

You didn’t need to bleed the brakes?

[@pbear216]

Unless you disconnected the hydraulic line, there is no need to bleed the lines

[@Fowlerboy559CITYKEY]

What do u recommend to push the slide pin dust boot rubbers?

[@EducatedGreaseMonkey]

i just push them back with my hands

[@LyonhartZ2]

Hi Carlos, I have a two ton Jack. Is this enough for this Tahoe? (tahoe weighs I think 7 thousand pounds, but we are only gonna lift 1 wheel at a time??

[@gamescape7758]

Little late but I have a 2.5 ton and it lifted fine. Problem was it isnt tall enough so have to put 2x4s under the jack. Jack stands are your friends!

[@georgejudd1305]

Very nice job!

[@RyanLuna909]

What size is the torch!!!

[@jimfaughnan998]

Torque bolt T-30

[@starratlarry]

Excellente trabajo!

[@richardburns9772]

What was the name of that kit?

[@EducatedGreaseMonkey]

PowerStop Brake Pad & Rotor Kit. I found it on Rock Auto for a pretty good price. Amazing performance.

[@cojackvideo]

Thanks a lot for the informative video 👍

[@EducatedGreaseMonkey]

Thanks for watching.

[@ryankennard9383]

Great video. Thank you sir.

[@EducatedGreaseMonkey]

You are welcome

[@lanconra]

Very well done thank you

[@williambroukal73]

Do you have to torque the bolts for the caliper and housing to a specific spec or no?

[@dpasek1]

Bracket 100 ft-lb, caliper 50 ft-lb, lug nut 110 ft-lb

[@josecabasos1661]

thanks for sharing¡🖒

[@waldemarpalomo123]

Thabks for uploading vidoes like theese helps dumb ass foo like my self ahahha

[@PJ-yc2kb]

Good video but kill the music. Can barely hear your voice

[@jaydecastro2577]

Too bad you didn't show how to remove the rotor, that was the reason why I clicked to watch it. Therefore, I gave the video a thumbs down cuz you failed to show that step.

[@ramosmiguel323]

Only thing I needed to see... you skip

[@pressurewashingwithkoolfel9738]

Lol

[@guzmanmarroquin9628]

Total wrong
