Question 1

How to replace the front brake caliper bracket on the 1500 Series on Cadillac Escalade ESV?

Accepted Answer

The Brake Caliper Bracket replacement process on the 1500 series requires vehicle lifting followed by tire and wheel removal. A heavy mechanic wire or equivalent should be used to brace the brake caliper after removal when the hydraulic flexible brake hose stays connected to avoid flexible brake hose damage and brake fluid leaks. By following the proper support process for the caliper you can remove it while the brake hose stays connected. Begin by marking where brake pads need to go for later installation. Move on to remove the brake pads together with their springs followed by Brake Caliper Bracket mounting bolts and finally the bracket. Installation starts with Brake Caliper Bracket placement followed by complete removal of original adhesive residue and bolting threads cleaning with denatured alcohol. Wait for them to dry before applying threadlocker gm p/n 12345493 (Canadian P/N 10953488). Before bolt installation, apply threadlocker gm p/n 12345493 (Canadian P/N 10953488) to the mounting bolt threads. Secure the bolts with a torque of 200 n.m (148 lb ft). Place Brake Pad springs and brake pads where you removed them before moving on. Put the brake caliper onto the bracket first before putting back the tire and wheel assembly and topping up the master cylinder reservoir with clean brake fluid if needed.

Question 2

How to replace the rear brake caliper bracket on the 1500 Series on Cadillac Escalade ESV?

Accepted Answer

Before starting rear Brake Caliper Bracket replacement on the 1500 series check the brake master cylinder reservoir fluid level. Remove fluid from the system until the liquid reaches the middle point that exists between highest and lowest acceptable measurements. Start by lifting and supporting the vehicle and after that remove the tire and wheel assembly from its position. Apply a large c-clamp tool over the caliper housing to compress brake caliper pistons toward the back of the outboard pad until full piston retraction occurs. Put an open-end wrench on the guide pin to loosen its bolts. At the same time protect the hydraulic flexible brake hose with heavy mechanic wire to avoid damage. Begin the procedure by removing the caliper from its bracket before you proceed to separate the brake pads with their retaining springs followed by removing the bracket bolts and eventually removing the bracket itself. After cleaning both ends of the bracket and the mounting surface you should proceed to install a new Brake Caliper Bracket. First clean the threads of bolted bracket bolts with denatured alcohol before applying threadlocker gm p/n 12345493 (Canadian P/N 10953488) and securing the bracket bolts to 165 nm (122 lb ft). Secure the new brake pads without using previous components then place the retaining springs before mounting the caliper onto the bracket. Tighten guide pin bolts to 38 nm (28 lb ft) by using an open end wrench to hold the guide pins. Place the wheel assembly and tire on the vehicle and perform a deliberate brake pedal action reaching 2/3 of its potential and let go of the pedal after the engine shutdown. Perform this sequence multiple times before your pedal becomes hard enough to fully engage caliper pistons alongside pads while maintaining the correct fluid level in the reservoir when needed.
