ACDelco Front Professional Front Disc Rotor: amzn.to/29k0ZaC
In this video I show how I changed the front brakes on my 1995 GMC Suburban. This method also works for most General Motors vehicles including Suburban, Tahoe, Yukon, Sierra and Silverado to name a few. I used genuine AC DELCO parts.

When compressing the caliper use the old break pad on the caliper to prevent damaging the caliper piston.
Breaker would help with removing lugs, C-clamp helps with caliper piston, and brake cleaner (spray on, wipe off) helps with cleaning rotors and other dusty/oily parts. Thanks for taking time to share and help the community of DIYers.
John Jenkins what about taking the cover off
Just did this on a friends 1999 Chevy Suburban k1500. The outside pad, with the clip that slides over the caliper, can appear to pop into place, but not be fully seated, so check that it is flush and even on both sides. This may take some prying and tapping. I would recommend putting that pad in first and once set put the inside pad in which is much easier. There is a Left and Right outside pad (so the squeezer plate ends up "down"). The inside pads are identical.
One caliper was leaking a bit, so we got new calipers for like $37 each at the local parts store and they came with pre-lubricated guide pins, new guide pin bolts, and a new brake line bongo bolt with two copper washers [I would recommend adding some additional caliper grease to the pins]. This made things super easy as you can install the pads "on the bench", then install the caliper, and then install the brake line. Also eliminated the need to compress the caliper pistons and clean the caliper pins & bolts. Requires a bit of bleeding the brake lines, but that's easy, especially with a "one man bleeder setup". The Ceramic brake pads came with the seals and boots for rebuilding the calipers, but I didn't need those. There is a Left and Right caliper.
Other than the clip on the outside pad, I love this brake design. There is no caliper bracket, so changing the rotors is no extra work.
Best to do one side at a time so you have a reference. If you are putting on new calipers, and are fairly inexperienced, you should buy the new calipers, and then remove and install them one at a time, and then return the cores. The boxes are marked L (Left) and R (Right), but are sometimes mixed up at the parts store. If you take the old calipers in to the parts store, they like to use the boxes for the cores, so when you get home you have to do some thinking about which one is Left and Right.
leave the pad on the caliper while your pushing piston back in...it aids and it protects piston face
Hello 1 Road. I've recently taken a look at the brakes and rotors on my 95 Chevy Suburban and I'm honestly surprised it even works, pads are shot and rotors are warped and grooved. This video here is literally a life saver for me potentially as my Suburban is my Wife and children's car, i feel horrible it's that bad. Parts are being shipped out as we speak to do exactly what your doing in your video here. Great video once agin. Thank you for sharing! Keep up the keep up.
Thanks for showing how to replace the slide pin bushings!! Missed by all the other vids.and Chiltons description is less than stellar.
He was ready for covid way ahead of time lol
agree, i use old pad to push piston back, also uncap / loosen brake reservoir, to allow fluid to move
This guy is smart using all the necessary PPE gloves and lung protection. You would not believe how many people forget this stuff. Good video.
Where is the Tyvek suit
I use old pad with c clamp .
Good video
great idea!
I agree. That way it goes back evenly
One of the few videos that shows the seals for the sliders being changed.
That was really interesting seeing you put new brakes on the Suburban Jimmy. Keep the videos coming, that was pretty helpful for me because I've been working on restoring an old 1965-66 Mustang made by Ford, it was my dad's when he was still alive. The car has been needing engine work which that part is almost finished and then it needs a lot of other work on it. It needs new tires, the brakes I'll probably replace, new fuel, carburetor needs to be fixed, steering wheel needs a new horn ring, car needs to be waxed, dents need to be fixed etc. whatever else needs to be done for it.
Yes definitely agree with using brake clean and the old pad when pushing piston back into caliper. I think the paint respirator is a little much.
using dish detergent on any degreasing job is fine as long as you put it back on really dry. The dish detergent is a great degreaser and it's almost free of charge, I use it alot .
You can use any flat metal piece to depress the Piston you can use the old pad too .
How about a follow-up video, how are the brakes you installed holding up after a year?
Putting on new rotors requires the important part is getting the axle castle nut just perfectly lightly tightened. I would add that to your vid. (I'm a Shadetree Mechanic for sure and amateur in qualifications, but do most of my repairs to a 1999 GMC Suburban)
Man I feels so bad when I remember when I was 16 going to high school with that suburban black with fully tinted and brakes are not working at all and everytime I get close to traffic light I thought I will crash the whole cars like bolling lol
if you were a mechanic, you would know that some of those pins a re not chamfered on the end you insert into the caliper, some are. if not, it makes it way more difficult to slide the pins by the new o rings you just installed. the brake pad should be lubed where it contacts the caliper and caliper piston as well.
how come no one ever shows how to BURNISH your front pads after putting new ones on. its very important to do this .
What are you using to film your videos? Quality is incredible.
I think you should also use a bungee cord to hold the callipers to take the weight off the break line
How do you like the shocks I'm thinking about purchasing them for my 97 k1500 suburban
I cannot believe you compressed the caliper piston like that. Why didnt you use the outside pad with the C clamp to compress the piston evenly ? But I do enjoy watching all your videos. Thanks
Nice video
how many miles on the truck
I have a GMC Yukon 1999 it is pulling when I brake what does that mean
never squeak after? right
if you have to use a c clamp to compress the caliper, put one of the old brake pads in between them. that way you can turn the c clamp handle without trouble. if you had phenolic calipers (plastic) you might break them if you use a c clamp without the brake pad in between. or, just use the proper caliper compressor tool
My brake caliper seems to be stuck on ?
You may replace T55 torque bolts with 19mm bolt.
Is pumping the brakes to build pressure before or after the wheel is installed?
After
also, use brake parts cleaner....easy.
I understand you aren’t a mechanic but you should’ve shown how to set the back lash on the wheel bearings.
how do you like the rotor and pads so far ?
+jordan andersen so far so good. I just have to do the rear drums now. 😱
ac delco is no longer owned and operated by gm. some chinese company now makes ac delco parts. our shop has stopped using ac delco parts.
pzkpfwiv freak what’s the best company to go with for front brakes rotors and rear drums for my 95 2 door
To clean packing oil off of new rotors you simply use a can of brake cleaner and a shop towel.
What size Allen wrench and c clamp did you use?
Many use 3/8'' hex. 6 inch c-clamp is usually big enough.
What is the respirator for?
For real not needed at all lol 😆 😂 🤣
@@CHIRAQSAVAG3 maybe he's afraid of Covid...
Your right he might just give it to himself lmfaooooooo
put the old brake pad in front when pushing the piston back.
Time to invest in an air compressor.
Whats with the mask bro u think there's asbestos in those brakes?
Was looking for this comment!! Same thought here.
Brake dust is a thing and is really bad to breathe
Ethan J. Bro my uncles been mechanics rebuild engines and I’ve never heard of wearing a mask dudes 67 years old still working on cars
was that outer pad upside down?
So when are you going to upgrade the rear to disc?
+James M I want to do that so bad! Just waiting till I can't get settled. I'm in the process of relocating to Texas. Tons more vids to come soon!
Welcome to Texas!!
Still waiting for that upgrade
you should use red can of brake cleaner the rotors
+charles dais I try to stay away from chemicals leaching into my skin and lungs as much as possible...
This dude is NOT a mechanic so cut him some slack. He’s learning as he goes
Is your truck 4x4
+mikejone237 Yes
5 lug = 2wd
6 lug = 4x4
Only on the 1500 models tho
use brake cleaner not soapy water lmao
It looks like your old pads & rotors were fine, you wasted a bunch of time & money here. Shoulda just lubed your pads and the noise would be gone.
I was also thinking this. He replaced Ceramic pads on a heavy truck. My guess would be semi-metallic were previously on it which do make more noise than some are used to with the dust. Much better for a truck in my opinion however.
I think "professional" isnt original equipment. I believe its "advantage" (lowest level of quality) "professional" (which is middle of the road quality) and then GM original equipment is the best. But not totally sure, don't quote me on that :)
You really don't need that mask at all just saying lol
Amazon said made in Indonesia
Very hard to understand you with your mask on.
he done almost everything wrong shit
