  Q: How to replace the rear brake pads on the 1500 Series w/NYS and 25/3500 Series on GMC Sierra 3500?

  A:

  Check the brake master cylinder fluid level for the 1500 series w/nys and 25/3500 series before starting Brake Pad replacement. Check the brake fluid level between its maximum and minimum points; no fluid removal is required at the midpoint but additional fluid must be drained down to the midpoint if the reservoir shows higher fluid levels. Use two large c-clamps to press the caliper pistons while keeping them against the outboard pad behind the caliper housing until the pistons are fully compressed. When you remove the c-clamp from the caliper support you should detach the caliper receptacle bolts then remove the caliper from the bracket while supporting it with heavy mechanic's wire that leaves the hydraulic brake hose intact. Detach brake pads while throwing away anti-rattle clips and check both caliper and caliper bracket for problems. First install new anti-rattle clips onto the caliper bracket after which you must install brake pads and reconnect the caliper to the bracket by tightening its bolts to 108 nm (80 ft. Lbs.). Reinstall the tire with wheel assembly while taking away safety stands until the vehicle is at lower ground level. Use the engine's off-state to apply the brake pedal to 2/3 of its distance followed by its gradual release. Seating the caliper pistons and pads requires a repetition of the 15-second practice until reaching a firm pedal. Burnishing pads and rotors should be your final step before filling the master cylinder reservoir with clean fluid until it reaches proper level.

  Q: How to replace the front brake pads on the 25/3500 Series on GMC Sierra 3500?

  A:

  Before working on the front brake pads of the 25/3500 series check the brake master cylinder reservoir fluid level first. If the level is halfway between marks you don't need to drain fluid but dispose it when it exceeds the midpoint. Use 2 big c-clamps to compress the brake caliper pistons while placing them on top of the caliper housing against the back of the outer pad until the pistons move completely into the brake caliper. Reduce brake power before you remove the brake caliper bolts to protect components from breaking. Mount the caliper on mechanic's wire without breaking the Brake Line connection and take out the brake pads while disposing of the old anti-rattle clips. Examine the caliper and bracket first to install new anti-rattle clips before putting on the disc brake pads. Make sure the pads sit correctly inside the 2500 series with wear sensor on the leading pad and the 3500 series. Secure the brake caliper into place and install its bolts by tightening them to 80 ft. Lbs. (108Nm). Put back the wheel parts and take out safety stands while lowering the vehicle down. Use the brake pedal three-fourths of its reach to set the caliper pistons without the engine running while cycling the pedal until brake control returns. To complete the service install clean brake fluid into the reservoir up to its specified mark and apply pressure to the brake pads and rotors through a burnishing procedure.
