Routine Brake Replacement: Torque Specs?

[Dave Legacy]

Hey all,

Going to be replacing my rear pads and resurfacing rotors. I was wondering if anyone knew the torque specs associated with a routine brake job?

2016 Yukon XL SLT 4WD

Also, can’t find a .PDF service manual online short of AllData- likely not available. If anyone is familiar with one I’d appreciate it. The work looks pretty straight forward, but I don’t like to be surprised. =)

Best regards,

Dave

AllDataDIY has your truck, I just checked. I think it's the same specs for the GMT900s but not certain.

If it is the same, the caliper guide pin bolts are 28 ft lbs. Need 2 wrenches or wrench and socket for these. The caliper bracket bolts are 122 ft lbs. The wheels are torqued to 140 ft lbs.

Your parking brake shoes should be .06 mm clearance from the drum... yeah I know! I bought a drum brake shoe caliper to measure and adjust them next time.

JD9 rear brake rotor specs:

Discard thickness - 18mm
Min allow after refinish - 18.5mm
New - 20mm
max lateral runout - .05mm
max scoring - 1.5mm
max thickness variation - .009mm

An old thread, but I will try to post the torques from my shop manual again , so the data will be sorta archived for others (tried to post this a couple of weeks ago.) Don't know what happened the first time. NOTE: My shop manual is for 2015-2017......purchased off ebay for my 2015 Yukon Denali. Not sure about other years.

What’s the multiplier to go from whacks to ugga dugga’s?

Ok but does it work for adjusting our parking brakes? Mine have never been adjusted and have never worked. The shoes are still like brand new and they’re old enough to consent lol.

Yes, it's big enough to expand over the diameter of our shoes and take a measurement. We're supposed to measure the inside of the drum in hat rotor and then make the clearance between the shoe and rotor .026" inches!
