I need to remove the front left brake rotor on my 07 Avalanche 4wd to replace the wheel bearing. Unlike all the other 3 rotors, this one seems to be really stuck on there. I've read about the trick where you insert bolts into the threaded holes on the front of the rotor, but does anyone know...
Just wanted to give an update. I replaced the caliper bracket with a rebuilt one, which included new slide pin seals. The pad seems to move a bit more freely than before.
Also replaced the caliper slide pins and bolts with new ones from AC Delco, and lubed everything with silicon grease. So...
I think you're on to something. I noticed the inboard pad was difficult to take out and get back in. If it's too snug in there it will absolutely hang up! Thanks for the idea. I'm going to do that next and see if it remedies it.
The slide pins move freely and have been lubed with dielectric grease to hopefully keep them that way. I don't think it's the slide pins.
There are noticeable groves on the old and new pad. Sorry for the poor pictures. You can see them with the naked eye and you can certainly feel them. Maybe...
Yeah, I thought it was a bit much too. Unfortunately the carfax doesn't have the mileage on the first turn, but new pads and turn at 47k? That seems early, and new pads less than 45k again? Can a bad rotor cause the inside pad to wear prematurely?
I have a set of digital calipers. Any idea...
My apologies for posting this in the Tahoe/Yukon forum, but the Avalanche forum gets very little traffic.
I've had my 2007 Avalanche for 13 months now. 1 month ago it failed inspection for rear brakes. Turns out the passenger side rear inboard pad was worn all the way down to metal. The rest...
Thanks! I may just do that.
It is very difficult to see what's going on down there; not sure I could even find where the joints split. I certainly couldn't feel my way around. But I may get inspired and try again.
Alright, well my attempt has failed. I removed both lower and upper joint bolts, but I could NOT pull it free from the steering rack. I thought about disconnecting the intermediate shaft and seeing if I could pull the whole thing free from there, but thought better of it. Perhaps the joint is...
joshcarl,
I'm hoping you can help me clear up a few questions. I just went out there to see if I could even get the bolts loose. Can you confirm the lower bolt is what is circled in picture #1? It's VERY hard to see, but after breaking an extension, I finally got it loose. This is the lower...
