GMC Yukon Front Brakes Replacement

[@scotthooper3660]

VERY IMPRESSIVE PRESENTATION. NOT A DIFFICULT PROJECT BUT VERY IMPORANT. I liked the description of the size of the bolts so Car Guy informs me of the tools needed to do the job! THANKS!

[@jeffsloane8628]

Not only is this a great and accurate video, but I hope everyone appreciates the fact he is doing most of this one handed!

[@YourCarGuyDR]

Jeff Sloane thank you Jeff. It definitely slows me down when I shoot the videos.

[@padraic561]

Thanks for taking the time to do this. Pretty straight forward but it's great to be able to check procedures on specific models that haven't been done before. PO

Very helpful. Keep up the good work.

[@bravocompany1072]

Very thorough. Nice job.

[@mcintoshamps2550]

If you pry the caliper back always be sure to hook up a small hose to your bleeder valve.Open your bleeder valve and let the brake fluid drain into a bottle while prying back the caliper.Close the bleeder each time you stop prying to keep air from going back up into the brake line.This will keep you from having headaches with anti lock system such as the Brake Light showing on after the Job is done.

Dude this was awesome, thanks!!

[@Blazerman6789]

What size thread is the bolt required to use the holes on the rotor to push the rotor off...hope that made sense 😅

Note : 2000 Yukon XL - To Just Replace The Disc Pads, when the Rotors are Still Usable... Only Take off the. 2- T-55 Torx Caliper Bolts,
Then Compress the Piston Cups, Use a Screwdriver to Pry out the Old Disc Pads.
( the 1- Sound Clip on the Caliper Piston Side, 2- Sound Clips on the Outside...)
Load, Tap in the New Pads in Position, Reload the Caliper, Install the 2- T-55 Caliper Bolts. Start the Engine, Pump the Brake Pedal to Bring the Fluid to the Piston Cups again, Do the Same On the Other Front Side...No Need to Remove the " 18mm Bolts", or the " Bracket " = Quick and Easy...!! Also if the Caliper is Resisting to Unload...it is Because the Pads won't Clear the Worn Outer Ridge of the Rotor Surface Face... In that Case do whatever You Can to Start the Piston Cups- Just a Little Compression back into the Caliper...then the Caliper will Unload... I struggled with Both of My Front Calipers... To get Them Unloaded... But that was all it was... The taller ridge...on the Rotor Surface.
ALWAYS USE JACK STANDS

Thank you for the vid!

[@pauldowning9798]

Thank you!!

[@onecleanplatinum8434]

Did you take off the brake fluid reservoir cap before pressing in the pistons?

[@YourCarGuyDR]

Dave Burlison no. It isn’t necessary to remove the cap.

[@vdemetre]

Did you replace the caliper bolts with new ones? Use blue loctite? Isn’t that recommended?

[@Josh-sx3pw]

Is it necessary to bleed the brakes after? I'm seeing mixed results on Google as far as an answer

[@YourCarGuyDR]

Not unless you replace the calipers or remove the brake lines.

[@Beardeddad0108]

Anybody have an definitive answer why I’m getting a stabilitrak message traction control on 07 GMC Yukon Denali 1500 xl appreciate any help

[@robm2908]

What would you recommend to get stuck caliper bolts off? Breaker bar not helping - is it ok to use wd40?

[@YourCarGuyDR]

You can use WD40 or any good penetrating oil. An impact gun can be helpful.

[@YourCarGuyDR]

Just make sure to clean any oil that gets on the brake rotors off with some brake cleaner.

[@tru-colorjigs4593]

Will the rotor come off the same with a 2 wheel drive?

[@YourCarGuyDR]

Tru-Color Jigs yes

[@bobbydouglas16]

I assume rear is very similar?

[@YourCarGuyDR]

Yes the rear is similar
