Excellent video. I'm a pretty good mechanic, DIY or "shadetree" but still good. I can tear down and rebuild a GM V8 or an Evinrude outboard in my sleep. I have done many brake jobs in my life, I'm 50 years old. But it has been 20+ years since I have replaced a brake caliper. And never on anything newer than a late 1980's GM. I have a 2008 Escalade EXT and the left rear caliper was dragging. It would let go enough so that when you put the truck in drive, it would creep forward. But after 10 mins of driving, especially highway driving, I could tell the brake was developing friction and slowing the truck down. It felt like I was towing a trailer maybe 1500 LBS. I tow a 7,000 pound camper and a 12,000 boat on occasions so I know how it feels with weight.That was confirmed by using an IR heat gun. The right rear would be 115 degrees after a drive. The left rear would be 220 degrees. Anyway, following this lady's instructions I replaced the caliper in 30 mins (most of that was clean up). I am a MAN and I am happy to take mechanical advice from an experienced lady mechanic any day! Thank you ma'am. ;)
