How to Replace Front Rotors, Brakes pads and Bearings. in a 2000 Chevy Express 3500

2000 Chevy express Brake Pads. Rotors and Bearings replacement
Brakes pads are the reason your car is able to stop. When you press on the brake pedal, the brake pads apply friction against a metal disc or drum that halts the vehicle. Because of this friction, brake pads wear down over time. Maintaining effective brake pads is important to avoiding very pricey repairs as well as unsafe driving conditions; this video shows how to change the brake pads.
Here are some of the equipmets we used on the making of this video.

8:16 You're so lucky the bearing just fell out! I'm working on a 2002 GMC Savana 3500 van with ~250,000 miles, and the bearing is seized onto the spindle. The whole rotor won't come off! I don't want to slam on it with a hammer & dent the back of the rotor face. I'll probably need to find a puller tool & and heat the bearing up with a torch to break it free.

How you get it off?

Thank you. I’ve never done more mechanically than changed a tire on my car & I will be trying this on the Van I just bought. Wish me luck 😆

My question is you didn’t show how tight you made the axle nut? You kinda blended the video. You tightened it and then untightened it. So how tight should it actually be? Otherwise that. Excellent video! It is going to be really helpful. Thank you for sharing.

Haynes repair manual say 12 ft-lbs on nut, then rotate hub a few revolutions with your hand to seat bearings, then back off nut, then hand tighten only (I know it sounds wrong, but this is what the book says, I am currently looking at it), then install cotter pin. I'll be doing this tomorrow...we'll see.

[@eddiesheeran5791]

@@itsnotthatyellow You are correct, even though people expect a much higher torque for wheel bearings. I have read through a few service manuals for similar trucks & vans to verify. These old-school tapered (cone-shaped) bearings with separate inner & outer races do not need a lot of torque to hold them together.

What is the size of the allen head socket needed to remove the slider bolts. thanks, great video.

[@markdoeller758]

I'm soooo glad to click on a video where we have a nonverbal creature demonstrating this repair! 😂😂🤣🤣 Great job dummy!!!

It's self explanatory if u got eyes and common sense

[@buildsomething3996]

That was one loose spindle nut

[@ricardojohnsonthon7547]

Excellent video!! To the point and no unnecessary talking. Thank you!!

[@itsnotthatyellow]

Thank you for the video, I will be replacing a hub and bearing set in ORielly parking lot while traveling tomorrow. 2000 chevy express is the best!

You need to bend the stop tabs on your jack stands I just did mine after not knowing for ages. There's a warning label that I never noticed before .

[@mymicks]

Perfect video. Thank you!

[@parole2015]

First off didn't even show us how to install the bearings on the rotors guess u forgot that part

[@wiytboi]

hay this is an amazing video.. i wish everyone was as clear, detailed and to the point.. and not skipping shit,, you sped up the parks that were repetitive. simply amazing job bud.. keep it up..

[@hb5914]

Great instructional video!

[@edizzle17sf]

The bearings just sit right. In. Aint that hard to tell😂

[@rrdavis55]

Very good video showing a lot of small details. I had replaced both front rotors on a 300K mile 3500. The part is different for a single rear wheel and a double rear wheel. After replacing the rotor, bearings, calipers and pads one wheel was heating up. A mechanic friend said that when you move the caliper around on a high mileage vehicle that the brake line will crumble inside. the brake fluid will engage the pads under pressure but will not release back through the rubber hose that acts like a one way valve. So watch the fine details here and add replacing the brake lines to the job. The only other thing I would add is to use a plastic baggie to put the new bearings in with the grease to pack as grease as you can without getting grease all over everything! I need to learn how to work with gloves on!

The van has 95000 miles only. Thanks for the tip.

[@geosanchez1233]

I see you have two bearings but you only used one

[@hassengharbi1745]

He used it on the other side

[@Garpeinv]

Great job as always!

[@GPDIY]

I appreciate that
