How to Replace Front Brakes 2007-2013 Chevy Silverado 1500

New Brake Pad & Rotor Kit from 1AAuto.com 1aau.to/ic/1ABFS01658
This video shows you how to install new, quality TRQ brake pads and rotors on your 2007-2013 Chevy Silverado 1500. 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 process should be similar on the following vehicles:
2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
2009 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
2011 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
2012 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Love ALL your videos,(concerning 08 Chevy of course) but i'm stumped with that little T30 Hex, mine is seized,actually snap the bit in it,any tricks to remove it? tried heating it but nothing, i'm afraid i'm gonna need to drill n tap.....

[@phouston6802]

Did my brakes a while back, i didn't have the service brake soon light b4, after i did them it popped up. Ive checked them multiple times everything is ok. The stealership wasn't sure why it was on either. I changed the brake booster sensor, still nothing. Changed the brake pedal position sensor, still on. Not sure what to do. Im gonna change the o ring behind the master cylinder and hopefully that does it. Any info or ideas are appreciated 👍 thanks

[@losmoore3358]

How do you know how many foot lbs you're torquing? Is that wrench set to it?

Think that rust bucket needs more than brakes!

[@Chungustav]

I really appreciate living in California when I see all these cars with rust underneath them

[@georgelouis6515]

You need a garage full of tools to do this.
