Rear Brake Replacement Made EASY! | 2019-2023 Silverado

[@JeffreyHribar]

For those setting errors after: Before turning the key back on, pull the negative battery cable and pump the brakes several times until they firm up. Then, reconnect the battery, start the vehicle and apply then release the park brake. If all goes well, this should not cause any error codes.

[@dannymartel8754]

nice job 👍 when removing the torx screw theres two perfectly good threaded bores that can be used as jack bolt bores to break that rotor free from the hub, no need for beating on it.

Excellent video and thank you so much. I was able to put the caliper back on the bracket without removing the electronic emergency brake device. I just squeezed the piston all the way back and then I was able to get it back on by sliding the top part on first and then putting the bottom part over the brake pads last. Hard to describe, but I hope that makes sense.

[@jaredmyers765]

Did you ever service your brakes? Could have been sticky slider pins causing the issue

[@logicalguy488]

You missed the most important part ...you always check if the caliper pins are free so that the caliper can float / self center itself.

[@transplantyooper]

Agreed - I am in the middle of the job and one pin was completely locked up and needed to be replaced. The stuck pin was the reason the inner pad was shot and the outer was still like new. 35k miles and needed new rotors as well.

[@transplantyooper]

@@AlphadogFJBthere are two pins that the caliper slides on and they have a tendency to stick so the pads drag on the rotor.

[@sergex9555]

My thought exactly

[@knickknackpattywack1]

Every time i go down muddy roads, i have to get my rear brakes changed. I have a "TrailBoss" that can't seem to handle mudd. Second time in 40k im doing this. First time was at 8k. Nice design Chevy 👌

[@JacksonMeHoff]

I have 65k miles on my truck. I use it mostly for my work truck but on the weekends it's the families fishing spot finder in the deep woods! Mines just the LT and it's lasted this long with still no problems at all. Rotors and pads still work and look great!

[@grejent]

Great video. It was very informative. I was able to get the brake calipers on and off without removing the electronic parking brakes. The bolts for the caliper brackets were super tight . My left inner pad was significantly more worn than the outer left pad and much more than the right pads. The factory rotors were disproportionally worn and pitted, especially on the insides. The new brakes feel great!

[@Cristian_5627]

Bro same shit happen to me!!

[@nfk7225]

I was fighting it at first, but then I noticed labeled on the back of my pads were "LH Outer, LH Inner, RH Outer, and RH Inner" once I put the right configuration in there it slipped right past. Those spring clips are a joke though.

[@efrengarcia-g1x]

Where did you order your break pad and rotor kit

[@ta4173dg]

Do you need to leave the key in the on position when you do this or can you shut it off while you do the work?

[@DIYAndrewFlockhart]

You can shut the truck off while it’s in brake service mode and it’ll stay in service mode!

[@johndougan6129]

Thanks a lot! This video was massively helpful. I think the wear issue is a function of the electronic p-brake. I think it may fail to completely release in winter and cause the extra wear on the rotor. I'm replacing mine at 33K miles and only 2 Northern NY winters. I'd love to know if Silverado owners with the conventional p-brakes have the same problem.

[@DIYAndrewFlockhart]

I think you're probably correct, as I found the electronic brake side was much worse than the other side, definitely will be changing them more often moving forward.

[@dpbikes]

dealer said I went 4x4ing too much, even on the brand new truck, I do a lot of gravel but dam that side wears fast. usually every 8 months I need new brakes. Such a shame.

[@RulisGarage]

Question: Can I do the rear brakepads with the truck running, instead od putting it on service mode? that way the EPB wont be ON

[@johndougan6129]

Gonna have to change them already...🎉

[@JoeyCastillo-yn6my]

What torque did you tighten the caliper mounting bolts and the caliper bolts to?

[@redsmith882010]

My 1st time doing brakes on a newer vehicle. This video was very helpful. I did not have to remove the park brake motor, it was just a matter of simply doing a light twist and it came out, make sure the caliper piston in fully compressed and it will twist back it fairly easily. Thankfully on mine rotors were good, monitor show 17% life at 50k miles, but when I removed the pads they were closer to 50% life left still.

[@dgeldmacher55]

I just changed mine and did it exactly the way you did it (thanks a ton btw) but when I was done, it said new pads detected yes or no. I selected yes but now it doesnt show the brake pad life and I am getting a service brake pad monitor pop up 9:50

[@justsaying3814]

I would say you broke, or installed the pad wear sensor incorrectly.

[@williamupdike3041]

So did you leave the key on or can you turn it off?

[@hezi973]

Great video. I used a bigger hammer. Much easier. I also compressed the caliper piston all the way and was able to fit it over the new pads without removing that motor off. What wasted most of my time was the torx guide screws from the rotor to the hub. Both side were seized. Both I had to drill out. I installed the rotor without it. Wjthout this video, I would get stuck on the sensore plugs for sure. Thanks!

[@scottT692]

Yea, dont need the torx screws to hold the rotor on, lug nuts do that

[@jeancouture9732]

My rear pads and discs need replacement after only 29,000Kms. Fronts are in great shape. I have never heard of or seen the need to replace the rear before the fronts and certainly not at such low Kms. PS that screw that holds the disk is a torx not a hex.

[@dannymartel8754]

Same here went to the dealership and lost it on them 30k and brakes are finished is just crazy! cheap parts on the chevrolets now…

[@offroader4715]

It’s because they changed the way the brakes are applied.. use to be 60 in front and 40 in back but they made it so every brake pad gets the same amount of pressure at the same time so apply evenly. They were to stupid to beef up the rear end brakes when coming up with the design

[@petebovenzi8119]

..man me too. 29 k here. Junk rear brakes.

[@jefffisher6044]

My rears are junk at 35k. Fronts are still great. At about 19k I had shaking really bad and all the rotors were warped. We turned the rotors then and now have to replace rears. Dealer told me this was common now that they are replacing more and more between 30k and 40k.

[@jbell219]

With that much difference in wear between the inner and outer pad I would say your problem is more likely due to the slide pins sticking than a warped rotor. Every time you replace brake pads you should pull the slide pins out, clean them, and coat them with fresh grease.

Question: why are you using brake cleaner to remove the anti rust coat? Isn’t the anti rust coating a good thing?

[@ga_shop]

good question! I believe this is because you don't want any coating between the rotor and the pads, it could affect your braking. the coating is cosmoline that they apply at the factory to keep it from rusting during shipping and storage, once you get the rotor on the car the pads will scrub off any rust that builds up

[@midwestIAboy]

It's true to a degree. It can't be done fully with no codes. These people are playing with fire and they don't realize it. After the brake job is done, resetting pad life, and performing a park brake calibration are required. Hydraulic circuit leak codes will set if the negative battery cable is left connected during the job. If the brake job is performed and service mode isn't achieved properly, you can do some serious damage. I've got a 23 suburban sitting in my stall because a guy thought the dealer was charging too much for a rear brake job. Now he has destroyed the master cylinder, which is a combo unit with the ebcm and modulator valve attached to it. I have to replace that along with both rear calipers and park brake actuators.

Silicone is for your rubber parts like the boots that go over the bolts. You should be using the Red threadlock but blue will do good too. Get copper antiseize opposed to usung the cheap silver crap the brake kits come with. Always clean the piston before depressing back into place. Dont spray eith brake cleaner, instead soak a rag or towel with brake clearner and wipe it clean then push it back in. Dont use a screw driver, use an old brake pad to push on the piston. Always replace the sensor, never reuse it.

This is my second time doing my brakes at 65k! Always the driver inside rear all pads are still looking fresh

[@BradleyDart-mq8bg]

I went 86K on my 2015 before needing any brake work

[@brianvazquez6854]

Mine has 55k and I’m running 22% of front and 53% back Light braking helps use the rear rather than the front. If you brake hard your front wear out quicker

[@David-d8x2m]

So.... hypothetically, if someone were to not know about the brake service mode before they started... got the brake and rotor replaced, couldn't get the caliper back on, did some research and discovered brake service mode, attempted to enable it with the caliper off thus fully extending the pison, and can't get it to go back in..... what should that person hypothetically do? 😅

[@brianmichalski9380]

i had the same problem with a lexus nxt200t. there's a video by DA TRUTH that shows a work around. basically, remove the electric parking brake, then use a torx bit to rotate the back of the piston clockwise until it stops, and then compressing the piston as usual. on the lexus i got a code when put back together, but after cycling through the brake service mode it went away. maybe this could help

[@carguy6789]

Hypothetically have towed to someone that does it for a living

[@lesdean5885]

great video.

[@nathanracicot974]

90k a need new rear pads. Quoted $700+ bc "need to replace pad monitor sensor" ...WHAT?? ILL do it myself thank you

[@DankAlchemist]

I spun my rear caliper piston not compressed. hhhmmmmm

[@MrCaseymetallic]

that hex bolt doesn't just come right out lol.. fack

[@johnhankins1907]

Especially in the salt belt

[@vanceplace1349]

Not the same for 2500

[@peterputnam3804]

That is not a hex bolt it takes a torx tip to get the rotor bolt out. Just got done on Saturday helping a friend with his 2020 silverado at 30000 miles. Can only conclude that the metal in the rotors is inferior metal. Maybe the new rotors are of better quality. Have done many disc brake jobs have never seen the rotors wear the way these did. Leaving grooves on the inside of the rotors.
