Alot of time the lock washers are old and don’t work as well as they once did.. The lock tight doesn’t make the bolts unremovable it just holds them in place and helps keep the torque settings.
Thanks

At 9:30, If you’ve already got locking washers, why would you need lockseal gel put on the bolts? Doesn’t this make it harder for the next brake job? I want my truck to last another 5 years or more.
No we don’t. We wanted to do one but haven’t been able to work it into our schedule.
this video helped a lot. I was able to change my brakes without issue. by any chance do you have a video for rear drum brakes on the 2005 silverado?
Changing the rotors is up to you. It would be best if you can get them resurfaced at the very least. The old rotors are usually a little out of round and the new surface helps break in the new pads.
Thanks

Do you have to change the rotors when you change brake pads?
Quality job guys! Doing one this weekend.
Thanks guys. Great video!!! I’m doing my 2007 corvette brakes this weekend and this was a great Chevy Brake design tutorial. Same design on the Vette as the Sliverado. Just different sizes. I love the bungee cord idea. Been using wire hangers for years……..
Very helpful video guys! No matter how Positive you try to make things in life like a simple video about changing brakes, there is always someone Negative!
You right in that you don’t have to go to the level of detail we do to change your brakes. But there’s a difference in doing it and doing it right. All the steps we go through were recommended by an ASE certified mechanic.
As for as brand Wagner’s are good. But we usually just recommend ceramic pads. Most house brands offer a ceramic pad option. Ceramic handle heat better and they don’t have as much brake dust and semi-metallic.
you do not know what you are doing you don’t have to do all of what your doing lol you make it harder then it really is bad video
Greg, thanks for uploading this great video!
It would be nice to provide a printable list of the torque values for the various fasteners. Also, noting the difference between two wheel drive and four wheel drive would be useful. Good video. Thanks
Is there any specific brake pads that I should buy? -2005 Chevrolet Silverado
