2004 Tahoe - sticking rear caliper

[Great-Kazoo]

All done, wasn't bad at all. The only annoying part was trying to get the old brass washers off the brake line, while brake fluid was dripping all over the place. No clue how they were supposed to come off but I ended up chopping them off with a pair of snips so I could put the new ones on. Got the little guy to play with the pedal for me so we could bleed the lines - brakes are great now.

The e-brake is now weak and goes all the way to the floor before it bites, so I'll need to fix that this weekend, but it's soooo smooth compared to where I was. I don't know what the brake shop guy was talking about when he told me my pads were fine. The inside rear pad on the right was grinding well into the metal, and the inside pad on the left was about 99% gone too.

Thx for the feedback - saved at least $400-500ish in the end for what was a pretty easy job.

Set the e-brake 1/2 way down. Then follow cable to the adjuster nut[s] You'll know what to do from there. I like vacuum bleeding , one person job easy to do, except the off the work seat to refill m/cylinder and back. Then up and back., again.....

Feels good to have done the job yourself and put that extra money in your pocket. There are some jobs it's How Much and How Long ?
