New Brake Pad & Rotor Kit from 1AAuto.com 1aau.to/ia/1ABFS00307
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 2000-06 GMC Yukon.

Thank you for not only an excellent video but giving us the torque specs that go along with the job. The proper torque is very important and about 99% of other contributors never mention torque. Thank you again!

[@youcontrolfreakssuckit3784]

Your like the bob ross of mechanics. Happy little calipers.

[@trailerparkcryptoking5213]

The best brake change video on utube!

[@kennyjones685]

I just want to say ty I did my first brakes from your video at the age 35 u made this process so easy to do

[@MrTullytiptop]

Great video. I love how thorough you are! Most mechanics just slap stuff back together but you go the extra mile and clean and check everything. Thanks for that

[@dboy1377]

Piece of cake. GM did a great job with this vehicle

[@alfonsotorres4144]

I like the way you explained everything details by details I think that was awesome I learn something from it

[@Retired-Sanitation-Worker]

I just did my 04 Denali rear brakes incl pads and calipers. I was having issues with my old calipers sticking. The new ones included the brackets which was nice, they had new guide pins etc.

[@mikefordham2898]

Great video! When I attempted to replace my rear rotors the emergency break shoe was preventing me from sliding the rotor off. Is there a way to loosen the emergency break with the rotor still on?

[@sheldonwilliams9478]

Awesome video thanx

[@markkoeller1794]

Are the breaks one or two piston

[@papijr5335]

Nice One Brodie 😎Helping me Out to change my rotor and pads imma cry 🥲

[@davelawler7599]

Fantastic, thanks much! Good stuff!

[@StainsAndGrains]

If you don't have that caliper closer tool can you just open the brake line, push back the caliper by hand, then fit over the rotor/pad assembly? Or is that tool absolutely necessary?

[@trailerparkcryptoking5213]

C Clamp

[@BigJuan2008]

If it’s difficult to install the pads are the the wrong size? The ones I got don’t slide in as easy as these

[@markkoeller1794]

Are the rear breaks one piston or two????

[@williamh6253]

Are the fronts the same as the back?

[@youcontrolfreakssuckit3784]

No easier don’t have the stabilizer pads and don’t have to take the caliper brackets to take off.

[@MrTullytiptop]

@@youcontrolfreakssuckit3784 I think the only reason he took bracket off was he also replaced the rotor! But I am pretty sure they use different pads.

[@casperthesavage22]

8:31 IVE SEEN AND HAD BRAKES FALL APART LIKE THAT BEFORE

[@papabear8160]

Pro tip make sure your emergency brake is off….I wasted a lot of time thinking my rotor was seized.

[@TRQ]

+Papa Bear Thanks for the feedback! 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ

[@adamopike]

Thank God I live in the South. You are always working on some rusty sh###t!

[@frydemwingz]

what no TEE FIFTY FIVE bit? The rear uses normal bolts with actual measurements and the front use torqs bits. what the hell were they smoking when they designed this? Why arent they the same?? I would say Im never going to own a GM truck again, but it's all like this. Everything is like this to make it as difficult and frustrating as possible. it has to be, there is no other explanation to why they would make the rear and front brake hardware different. There is no reason to use torqs on ANYTHING EVER. they do that to make it harder.
