Not me I’ve had the worst day ever everything was going good n when you used the screw driver to push in the piston to give some space for the pad the opposite side sprung out and started leaking brake fluid now idk what to do
I just changed my pads and when I started the truck I got a service esc alarm and a 43 mph top speed limiter. There is also a brake fluid leak now at my front left tire. Never even removed the caliper.
To get out of limp mode or not go faster the 43 mph.disconnect negative battery terminal then push on brake until it feels tight and could take a few times hook back up and it should clear.except check engine that you might need the reader.
My friend.. great video!! But.. Please don't ever let your calipers hang freely from the brake lines. Get a hanger or prop them on a control arm. That's really bad for the rubber lines and you risk damaging them.
@@Jbmc65 My understanding is you only have to for the rear as the brake service mode releases the parking brake properly and that's only in the rear. Never a bad idea to put it in brake service mode though!
Also you have to put the truck in maintenance mode by holding down the parking brake button for 10-15 secs before you began job or you can fry the master cylinder module, speaking from experience.
I appreciate the video, but people should be aware of a few things. 1 - You need to tell people to remove the front brake pad sensor BEFORE removing the caliper so it doesn't snap and break. 2 - Install the sensor BEFORE putting the caliper back on the rotor so you can see what you're doing. It's infinitely easier. 3 - Hugely important - A 2020 Silverado 1500 LT 4wd v8 requires the 343mm front rotors. Autozone will tell you that the 330mm rotors and the 343mm are a perfect fit, but they're wrong. Only the 343mm fit for me. I installed the 330mm first and they seemed to install just fine, but when I tested the brakes the caliper was grinding on the rotor. I had to do this job all over again after getting the right part.
I have a 2021 Seirra Denali also, did you put the truck in Service/Maintenance mode? I'm asking because i am going to take a shot at changing my brakes soon. Also, I researched if you were to get a code after changing your brakes, all you have do to clear the code is disconnect/ reconnect the battery.
Did you cleaned the rotors before installing them . Sometimes rotors come with some coating and its best to clean them with some spray and wipe them down .
Very easy! Great video! However I'd recommend having a basic code reader on standby to clear all the codes thrown after changing the pads (max speed 43mph, ABS, traction control.. etc..) Otherwise you'll have to pump the absolute hell out of your brake pedal with the engine off (depress brake hard for 45seconds, let off for 10seconds, repeat 5-10x) and hope they all clear on start-up. I've done it both ways but the code reader is infinitely easier.
I found the stock pads were pretty good, but rotors warped quickly on truck. Little to no anti squeal from factory which is why you have the same brake squeal that everyone seems to have. Decent caliper design, but definetly put anti squeal on next time you put the pad in and you won’t have an issue.
You just need to clean the dust out of that groove on the inside pad. The Pads and rotors you removed are still fine. Also when you remove the caliper. You should use a coathanger or haywire to tie it up so you don't damage the rubber/metal brake line. Otherwise good video.
Couple of things missed. Clean the rust off the wheel hub with a wire brush and put some never sieze around the hub before putting new rotor on. Caliper bolts should have loctite and torqued to 170 ft/lb.
I have a question, after my 2022gmc went to the dealer to replace the front and rear brakes, the front brake pads can only be used for 7000 miles and must be replaced, the front wheel hub has a lot of black dust every day, after replacing the front brake pads twice, the rear brake pads are still very new, why? The dealer said that my driving habits are not good, but this is impossible. The brake pad of my original car can be used for nearly 60000 miles, but after replacing the brake pad, it can only be used for 6000-7000 miles and must be replaced. It seems that the rear brake does not work. What is the reason? Thank you
1:32 Do not, ever, purposely allow the caliper to hang by the hydraulic hose. By doing so, you can set into motion an internal breakdown of the inner wall of the hose, causing brake issues in the future.
I just gave my dealer $300 and they did it, front and back brakes, new rotors, rotated my tires and topped off fluids. It took them 30 mins while I drank their free coffee. I let dealer do everything, they do oil change cheaper than I can buy the oil and filter. Plus there’s a paper trail and I get extra couple grand trade value when I go to buy a new one
Love your vids Andrew! I actually just bought new front pads and rotors and be installing them this week. It is weird my truck only has 44 thousand miles and the rotors some how got warped.
Yeah that is strange. My brother had a 2014 Silverado and he got 100k out of his without warp issues. I wouldn't think rotor quality would be that different.
Easy install but aren’t you suppose to put the truck into service mode for the brakes because it has automatic brakes and can cause the mechanism to fail by forcing the calipers in
@@theofficialap1067mine did that too yesterday and I had codes for the master brake cylinder as well. My piston fell completely out so I pushed it back in and rebled front brakes. All the lights lit up on the dash. I ended up just driving around at 43mph and eventually next time I started it up from being off everything was gone
So i have a 2020 gmc sierra, put my truck in service mode, did the brakes and new front pad sensor...completed the job and took it out of service mode and now my truck wont read the new sensor. Any ideas?cant seem to find any videos related to this problem. Thanks
I couldn’t get my truck to read the new sensor either. Every thing I read online said you had to go into the dealership to get it programmed again, or if you have a fancy scanner to do it. So unfortunately I will just be checking pad life manually from now on
I'm so frustrated after watching his video I pushed one piston in at a time. Which would cause the other piston to push out. Causing it to be almost impossible to push it back on. Order a new caliper but finally got it to go back in pounding on it with 2 axes and the old brake pad. Guess I'm gonna take the caliper all the way off next time and push both pistons in at the same time. Any advide? Anyone else deal with this?
When youre getting ready to press one piston in, hold the other one down tight with either your hand, or leverage it with another screwdriver. Do this back and forth for both pistons until they're both out of the way 👍🏽
Just mentioning for safety's sake... Jack stand on gravel is not a good idea. need something solid to set that jack stand on. also those caliper bolts had orange loctite on them from factory. that's why they were so hard to loosen. they can back off due to heating cooling...have had it happen to me before. not, trying to knock you brother, just trying to be helpful.
Well followed your-instruction and now every brake light on the dash is on. Guess When doing front brake pads you have to put in brake service mode. Now off to the dealership. Ugh
@@bluayek9436 - It was in limp mode let it sit overnight and was able to drive to dealership to reset light. The only stored code was the wheel sensor but they cleared it and said bring it back if it comes back on.

Dude….you failed to mention the most important part…..you have to put the truck into brake service mode first!!! Terrible video, those calipers could actually activate while you are working on them…. THUMBS DOWN ON THIS VIDEO
This is all a sham. Dont do this on your own. At least the back brakes. Take it to a dealer. I’ve changed brakes 100 times and just did my cousins 2019 and we couldn’t get the rear calipers to retract we had to open the bleeder valve and spin them in. Then it went into limp mode cuz it’s saying the brakes are inoperable. My cousin ended up driving the truck home but he had to push it to the floor to just get a rolling stop. Gotta take it to the dealer now anyway. Probably saved no money at all or actually cost money by messing up the electronic system somehow.
The truck has a feature to put the brakes into service mode which would have avoided the problem you had. There’s videos on TH-cam that show you how to put it into that mode and take it out. Now a days there’s no reason you can’t diy things as long as you do your research
@@xaviermccrary4817 I have always done the repairs and service on my vehicles. I’m an aircraft mechanic as well. I just never imagined they’d have changed the brake system that much. After my comment I did read more and found out I had to put the truck in service mode so I didn’t know it was that simple or I wouldn’t have made the comment.
As soon as I saw this guy letting his caliper hang from the brake line I stopped watching. Anybody that would do that obviously has no idea what they are doing. I hope you didn’t put your pads on backwards…
I have been getting an error with mine since I bought the truck and still isn't working properly. I did some searching online and it sounds like a fairly common issue with these trucks, and there was a recall on it with some models I believe. I've heard if you take it to the dealer they can do it but its expensive, or with the right scanner you're able to do it as well.
I was able to go to the brake pad screen and turn off the sensors or disable fairly easily , I believe you go to the screen then push and hold the button until it highlights the disable sensors and push it again, it may ask you if you are sure. The rotors will warp long before the pads wear out which is pretty pathetic as my truck has only 40000 kms.
Update : you will see options on the brake pad screen ,press and hold it until the options come up and then disable wear sensors. However, while changing the back brakes the inside of the rotors were shot and inside pads worn down to almost metal. 40,000kms on truck. I believe the inside gets exposed to more crap that doesn't get washed off (I wash truck very often) and the cheap rotors pitted and delaminated (chunks missing) which took out the pads. I could be wrong. Also the bolts holding the pad /pin /caliper brackets will fight you all the way out, mine had red locktite on them from the factory and had to use breaker bar just to slightly loosen them. If you can get an impact gun in there you will be happier, I just had ratchet tools. Good Luck
Dealer wants to charge me $180 just to reset brake percentage, which is ridiculous! I couldnt do it on dashboard so I just disabled it. Atleast it doesnt show monitor brake service on dashboard.

Never let the caliper hang with the weight on the brake line and also you never put grease on the pins or caliper where the brake pads slide.

Gotta take it to the dealer now anyway. Probably saved no money at all or actually cost money by messing up the electronic system somehow.
The truck has a feature to put the brakes into service mode which would have avoided the problem you had. There’s videos on TH-cam that show you how to put it into that mode and take it out. Now a days there’s no reason you can’t diy things as long as you do your research
Takes about 10 seconds to put the truck in brake service mode. No sham and no need to pay a dealer hundreds more.

You just be lost at life and don't know anything huh
@@xaviermccrary4817 I have always done the repairs and service on my vehicles. I’m an aircraft mechanic as well. I just never imagined they’d have changed the brake system that much. After my comment I did read more and found out I had to put the truck in service mode so I didn’t know it was that simple or I wouldn’t have made the comment.
Never change your brake pads without putting your truck into brake service mode, If you do you're asking for a world of trouble.
Alot of yall seemed not to open ya fluid reservoir and thats why ur getting codes
Yes was always told to take the cap off. When pushing in the pistons, you could get air in your brake lines
As soon as I saw this guy letting his caliper hang from the brake line I stopped watching. Anybody that would do that obviously has no idea what they are doing. I hope you didn’t put your pads on backwards…
Wow, you have no idea what you are doing… Never let the caliper hang like that.
No torque wrench either? Wow!!!
Bro lol you had probably another 20k left on those pads. Smh.
Thanks for sharing, perfect job 💪👍
HOW DO YOU RESET THE COMPUTER FOR THE NEW PADS??
I have been getting an error with mine since I bought the truck and still isn't working properly. I did some searching online and it sounds like a fairly common issue with these trucks, and there was a recall on it with some models I believe. I've heard if you take it to the dealer they can do it but its expensive, or with the right scanner you're able to do it as well.
I was able to go to the brake pad screen and turn off the sensors or disable fairly easily , I believe you go to the screen then push and hold the button until it highlights the disable sensors and push it again, it may ask you if you are sure. The rotors will warp long before the pads wear out which is pretty pathetic as my truck has only 40000 kms.
Update : you will see options on the brake pad screen ,press and hold it until the options come up and then disable wear sensors. However, while changing the back brakes the inside of the rotors were shot and inside pads worn down to almost metal. 40,000kms on truck. I believe the inside gets exposed to more crap that doesn't get washed off (I wash truck very often) and the cheap rotors pitted and delaminated (chunks missing) which took out the pads. I could be wrong. Also the bolts holding the pad /pin /caliper brackets will fight you all the way out, mine had red locktite on them from the factory and had to use breaker bar just to slightly loosen them. If you can get an impact gun in there you will be happier, I just had ratchet tools. Good Luck
Dealer wants to charge me $180 just to reset brake percentage, which is ridiculous! I couldnt do it on dashboard so I just disabled it. Atleast it doesnt show monitor brake service on dashboard.
