Question 1

How to replace the front brake calipers on the 1500 Series on Cadillac Escalade EXT?

Accepted Answer

The brake master cylinder reservoir needs to be checked before replacing the front brake caliper. Lower the fluid level down from the top mark to the midway point when it is at or above the midpoint level. Lift your car above ground then take off the tire components from the wheel assembly. Push down the caliper pistons through two large c-clamps until they move fully in and take off the clamps after completing the process. Apply protective measures before you clean visible dirt from brake caliper parts and seal off the brake hose with temporary devices. Take off the brake hose bolt and brake caliper while removing 2 copper brake hose gaskets before disconnecting the brake hose from its mount. Work with hand tools only when removing brake caliper bolts while the caliper guide pin fits into an open end wrench to shield the caliper parts from contact that may produce brake oscillation. Place the new caliper onto the bracket and bolt it in with installation torque of 100 n.m (74 lb ft). For correct installation keep the guide pins steady using an open end wrench. Repair the brake hose to its bolt on the caliper and tighten it at 40 n.m while bleeding the brake system. Fitting the tire and wheel parts back then topping up the master cylinder reservoir with fresh brake fluid when the fluid level needs to be restored.

Question 2

How to Service and Repair the Rear Brake Calipers for the 2500 Series on Cadillac Escalade EXT?

Accepted Answer

Service and repair of the 2500 series rear brake caliper requires you to replace all supplied components while lubricating rubber parts with clean brake fluid to simplify assembly. The torque specifications should reflect dry and non-lubricated conditions and all repair work must take place on a clean bench which contains no mineral oil materials. The brake caliper removal process requires caution because compressed air application in front of the Piston might result in severe wounds. A thin wooden implement helps protect components while compressed air removes pistons by targeting the inlet fitting of the brake hose. Move both pistons together with the Piston boots and Piston seals from the brake caliper before you detach its bleed screw cap and screw. Check the brake caliper bores together with Piston seal grooves for both scoring and corrosion damage. The brake caliper housing must be replaced when excessive damage becomes evident. The braking system shows poor condition if contamination affects the brake caliper mounting bracket guide surfaces so you should get a new bracket. The brake pad guiding surfaces of brake caliper housings and mounting brackets should receive complete residue removal followed by denatured alcohol cleaning of repair kit excluded parts which then require drying using non-lubricated filtered compressed air. Use compressed air to evacuate all passages within the brake caliper housing as well as the bleeder valve. In order to install the brake caliper complete its assembly process start by tightening the bleed screw to 12 nm (106 inch lbs.) and securing the bleed screw cap. The new Piston seal and brake caliper bore seal groove should receive a lubrication treatment with brake fluid before final installation when the seal remains untwisted. Apply brake fluid to the brake caliper bore and Piston before placing the boot across the Piston end with its fold pointing towards the brake caliper housing Piston bore opening. Slide the Piston into the bore through the boot's entrance in the groove. Push the Piston to the bore's lowest point repeatedly to confirm proper boot seating occurs between the Piston groove and the brake caliper bore groove. Perform this step for all remaining pistons. Install the brake caliper back on the vehicle prior to finishing the installation process.
