Hi, I'm Don from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the rear brakes on this 2002 Chevy Suburban. We show you on the passenger side, but the driver's side is the same procedure. The items you'll need are new brake pad and rotor kit from 1AAuto.com; 12, 18, and 22 mm socket and ratchet with a piece of pipe for extra leverage; flat blade screwdriver; large C-clamp; torque wrench; brake grease; brake cleaner; and jack and jack stands. Start off by loosening up these lug nut covers and we'll fast forward as Don does this. Once those are all loosened up, you can pull the hubcap free. You want to loosen the lug nuts preliminarily, raise the vehicle and remove them the rest of the way, unless you have air powered tools. Then, you can do it while it's up in the air.
To inspect your brakes, run your finger along the rotor, check for any deep grooves. You can look in here for the life of this brake pad and then through here for the life of the other brake pad. Remove these two 12mm bolts and we'll fast forward as Don does that. Use a large C-clamp. You put it on this end on the back of the caliper and on this brake pad and twist it in. This is going to push the caliper piston in and make it easier to pull the caliper up and off. Remove the large C-clamp, pull the caliper free, and set it aside. Pry up the brake pads.
Remove these two 18mm bolts and use a piece of pipe to help break it free. We'll fast forward as Don removes those two bolts. Pull your caliper bracket off. Pull the rotor off.
On the right is the old rotor and brake pads. On the left are the new ones from 1A Auto. You can see they're identical and they're going to fit exactly the same. Spray your rotor with some brake cleaner and wipe it down. Re-grease your caliper slides and apply brake grease to the tabs on either side of your brake pads.
Slide your new rotor into place and then twist on a lug nut to hold the rotor in place while you put the caliper bracket back on. Put your caliper bracket back into place and replace those two 18mm bolts and we'll fast forward as Don tightens those up. You want to torque these to about 85 foot-pounds.
To reset your caliper pistons, you want to put a brake pad in front of the pistons and twist the large C-clamp until it pushes the pistons in. Push your brake pads back into place and put your caliper back down into place and replace those two 12mm bolts. We'll fast forward as Don does this and tightens them up. You want to tighten these to about 30 foot-pounds.
Put your wheel back into place, and then, replace your lug nuts and tighten them preliminarily and we'll fast forward as Don does this. Lower the vehicle, and torque the lug nuts to 100 foot-pounds in a crossing pattern. Then, replace that hubcap and tighten up each of your lug nut covers.
Before taking the vehicle out on the road, you want to pump the brake pedal until it firms up, and then do a stopping test from five miles per hour, and then ten miles per hour and you're all set.

I'm gonna use a 22-millimeter socket, remove the lug nuts, take the wheel off. Now remove the wheel. Now use a 12-millimeter socket, take this caliper bolt off. I will do the same on the top one. And if you have to, you can use a wrench on the stud if the caliper slide is spinning. Then you can hold that. Now grab the caliper, just twist it a little bit, that'll compress the piston and slide it up. And you can use a brake caliper hanger. And just find a spot to hang it from, would be somewhere in the frame over here. Just as long as the brake hose doesn't have any tension on. It's good right there. Now I will take the brake pads off. And use an 18-millimeter socket and take these two bolts out. And take those bolts out and slide the bracket right off.
Take the new bracket. And we'll just take a little caliper lube and just grease the caliper, and put these caliper slides on, or anti-rattle clips. And just take and give it a nice thin coat of more caliper grease. Now take the bracket and slide it over the rotor. And take the bolts, you can use some thread-lock adhesive on them, and get those started. And now I'm gonna torque these bolts to 129 foot-pounds. And take the brake pads and slide those on. Brake-warning indicator goes to the top. And same on the inside, goes on the top. And take the caliper and just slide it in position. Take the bolts, get those started. Then I'm gonna use a 16-millimeter wrench, put that on the caliper slide and then torque this bolt to 31 foot-pounds. And do the same for the top.
Now just take the old caliper and we're gonna take this bolt off, take the banjo bolt off. We wanna do this pretty quickly. It's a good idea to double-check your reservoir for the brake fluid and make sure it's topped off so you don't lose all the brake fluid. You can see one of the seals, or washers, stayed right there. And we wanna take the other washer off the other seal. Put the seal on, and slide it through the hose. And the new seal on that side as well. And get this started. I will tighten this down. And take a torque wrench and I'm gonna torque this to 30 foot-pounds.
Take a 10-millimeter wrench and open up the bleeder screw. Double-check your master reservoir. And we're just gonna let this gravity bleed out. Once you get a nice steady stream, you wanna make sure this bleed screw is closed. And then have a partner get in the vehicle and pump the brake pedal. Go ahead, pump the brake pedal. There's a little bit of an air-gap in between the caliper and the brake pads. And once the pedal starts getting hard, then you know that's filled up. So about five times. Pump it up and then hold it. And then while they're holding it, you're gonna open up this bleed screw, a little bit of air came out, and then close it. All right, pump it again and hold it.
While they're holding it, open it again. See if there's any air, maybe a little bit of air came out that time. And then one more time. Pump it up and hold it. And open it up one more time. And no air came out that time so we're good. Just snug that up. All right, give it up a pump. Feels good. All right, put the cap back on. You can clean that up with some brake parts cleaner and then double-check your fluid level and adjust accordingly.
And it's a good idea to go for a road test and after you're done, come back and take a look and make sure you don't have any leaks. And reinstall the tire. Put the lug nuts on. Now I'm gonna torque these to 140 foot-pounds in a star pattern or a cross pattern to tighten the wheel down evenly. And I'll just go around again to double-check. Then check the brake fluid level after you're done and adjust accordingly. You wanna make sure you always maintain fluid in the reservoir while you're doing the procedure.
