How to Service and Repair Front/Rear Bendix Brake Calipers on GMC C3500?

You can begin overhauling the brake caliper by removing all the fluid from the front/rear bendix. Don't use your hand to hold air against the Piston head and only provide enough air to slowly remove the Piston to stop it from becoming damaged. Subsequently, pull out the Brake Pad and wipe the caliper's inner area with clean towels. Using an air compressor, fire some air into the caliper fluid to push the Piston out and next, extract the Piston seal and the boot with a plastic tool. Take the bleeder valve out and use denatured alcohol to clean it, along with the caliper bore, the passages and the Piston and then dry them with filtered, compressed air. Replace pistons or caliper bores that are scored, corroded or damaged and polish off any minor corrosion on the exterior parts using a crocus cloth. For the install process, coat the seal of the new Piston, the interior of the caliper, the inside of the Piston and the edges of the boot seals with clean brake fluid. Put the Piston seal in gently, keeping it undistorted inside the caliper and install the boot by putting its large part over j 24548, then sliding the smaller part onto it. Place the boot deeply inside the caliper bore groove, ensuring that its lip fits tightly and then slide the Piston all the way into j 24548 and push the Piston halfway into the bore. Remove j 24548, securing the boot correctly in place and completes by putting on the bleeder valve and tightening it to 13 nm (110 inch lbs.).

How to Remove and Reinstall a Brake Calipers Assembly on GMC C3500?

You should start by draining two-thirds of the brake fluid from the master cylinder to service and repair bendix brakes. Lift the vehicle and put safety stands under it to support it. Identify how the wheel attaches to the hub and take the tire and the wheel off from the vehicle. Set a c-clamp on the cylinder and tighten it until the Piston is barely inside the bore and then take off the c-clamp. After that, remove the brake hose and unscrew bolt (2), then drive the support key out using a hammer and brass punch after taking out the support spring. Remove the assembly and check the inside or brake lines for any leaks with a clean rag; if anything is spotted, follow brake caliper overhaul. Scrub any corrosion from the machined areas of the anchor plate and the caliper with a wire brush. Before installing the caliper and anchor, apply lubricant to their sliding surfaces, for example shell aeroshell #5. Make sure that the caliper assembly is installed correctly so that the brake hose is not twisted or tightened too much. Don't apply never seize type products on the v-ways and guide ways of the anchor plate, since this can cause higher caliper slide forces and added Brake Pad wear. Drive in the support key by placing the spring beneath it and putting the brass punch and hammer on top; after that, insert the caliper lock mounting bolt (2), so the boss matches the cutout on the support key and fasten the bolts to 20 nm (15 ft. Lbs.). The brake hose should be installed and the bolt at the end should be tightened to 45 nm (33 ft. Lbs.). Flush the brake system, add the tire and wheel and only then lower the vehicle.

Q: How to Service and Repair Front/Rear Bendix Brake Calipers on GMC C3500?
A:
You can begin overhauling the brake caliper by removing all the fluid from the front/rear bendix. Don't use your hand to hold air against the Piston head and only provide enough air to slowly remove the Piston to stop it from becoming damaged. Subsequently, pull out the Brake Pad and wipe the caliper's inner area with clean towels. Using an air compressor, fire some air into the caliper fluid to push the Piston out and next, extract the Piston seal and the boot with a plastic tool. Take the bleeder valve out and use denatured alcohol to clean it, along with the caliper bore, the passages and the Piston and then dry them with filtered, compressed air. Replace pistons or caliper bores that are scored, corroded or damaged and polish off any minor corrosion on the exterior parts using a crocus cloth. For the install process, coat the seal of the new Piston, the interior of the caliper, the inside of the Piston and the edges of the boot seals with clean brake fluid. Put the Piston seal in gently, keeping it undistorted inside the caliper and install the boot by putting its large part over j 24548, then sliding the smaller part onto it. Place the boot deeply inside the caliper bore groove, ensuring that its lip fits tightly and then slide the Piston all the way into j 24548 and push the Piston halfway into the bore. Remove j 24548, securing the boot correctly in place and completes by putting on the bleeder valve and tightening it to 13 nm (110 inch lbs.).

Q: How to Remove and Reinstall a Brake Calipers Assembly on GMC C3500?
A:
You should start by draining two-thirds of the brake fluid from the master cylinder to service and repair bendix brakes. Lift the vehicle and put safety stands under it to support it. Identify how the wheel attaches to the hub and take the tire and the wheel off from the vehicle. Set a c-clamp on the cylinder and tighten it until the Piston is barely inside the bore and then take off the c-clamp. After that, remove the brake hose and unscrew bolt (2), then drive the support key out using a hammer and brass punch after taking out the support spring. Remove the assembly and check the inside or brake lines for any leaks with a clean rag; if anything is spotted, follow brake caliper overhaul. Scrub any corrosion from the machined areas of the anchor plate and the caliper with a wire brush. Before installing the caliper and anchor, apply lubricant to their sliding surfaces, for example shell aeroshell #5. Make sure that the caliper assembly is installed correctly so that the brake hose is not twisted or tightened too much. Don't apply never seize type products on the v-ways and guide ways of the anchor plate, since this can cause higher caliper slide forces and added Brake Pad wear. Drive in the support key by placing the spring beneath it and putting the brass punch and hammer on top; after that, insert the caliper lock mounting bolt (2), so the boss matches the cutout on the support key and fasten the bolts to 20 nm (15 ft. Lbs.). The brake hose should be installed and the bolt at the end should be tightened to 45 nm (33 ft. Lbs.). Flush the brake system, add the tire and wheel and only then lower the vehicle.
