New Brake Pad & Rotor Kit from 1AAuto.com 1aau.to/ic/1ABFS01425
Brake pads wear out over time, much like tires, and need replacing, on average, every 50,000 miles, with variations depending on driving habits and environment. Brake rotors may also need to be replaced if they are warped or grooved. Often, it’s safer and more cost effective to replace pads and rotors at the same time. Squealing or grinding noises, or wheel vibration are all symptoms of worn brakes. This video shows you how to install new, quality TRQ brake pads and rotors on your 2000-2006 Chevy Tahoe.

My caliper has a t55 torx bolt. Not an 18mm holding it on

[@synapsesound]

I think this is what mine has. Another trip to the parts store!

[@jakekelley24]

Pretty sure ur slide pins are either 18mm or t55, not sure why. I’ve seen it both ways. Frustrating if you need to run back to the parts store.

[@goldwater1777]

Great visuals can clearly see what your doing straight to the point wish all videos on how tos were this easily follow along 💯🛠️🔧🔩

[@diegofelix4848]

You make it look easy but I don’t have all the tools you use to make it that easy

[@o06908]

Also, on the 2003 2wd Tahoe the caliper is bolted on using a Torx T55 NOT an 18 millimeter like it shows on the video.

[@chrislangowski4438]

The front brakes use a T55 not an 18mm socket

[@JB91710]

1:30 Some genius put a T bolt in there. I can't wait to try getting that out.

[@horatiofox]

Great videos!

[@tomjoad1363]

I use a C-clamp and one of the old pad to compress the pistons.

[@o06908]

Notice at around the 4 minute mark they cut the video to the next step because it's impossible to put the outside brake pad on the bracket after you installed it. You must put it on first then install the bracket. The inside one doesn't matter. It goes on fine. This is deceptive editing. They should have redone the video to show the ONLY way it can actually go one.

[@davewright9733]

What tools do you need in all? 18 mm socket and wrench, what else?

[@horatiofox]

A C-Clamp, flat head screwdriver, torque wrench, brake cleaner, caliper grease.

[@eseniteowlcg5067]

Hi

[@chrislangowski4438]

The rear uses an 18mm
