This was a very good video for someone that has never tried this before. I believe though that two very critical things were over looked. If I may, It is very important to instruct that the mating area where the caliper bracket meets the spindle is crucial to be very clean. Second; There were no mention of making sure that the old brass washers are removed from the brake line mounting block, Look for shine and you are fine, If you see brass, it will be your ass!
How do you tell left from right? The answer is that the bleed screw will be up. I saw no mention of this detail in the video, nor did I find instructions to indicate this. The part numbers on the units are identical, so I saw no reason to concern myself with left or right. If you get them backwards, you will never be able to bleed the brakes.
Just did this and replace my front hub assembly on my 2006 Silverado. Anyone have a problem with the hub not spinning at all by hand after it’s all put back together?
I have a question for you, I have a 04 gmc 1500 with the quadsteer and I'm looking to change the rear calipers , are they the same as what's on a normal 2 wheel steer 1500 ?

This helped out so much!! I’m a newbie to this so that is for the cohesive instructions
Okay what is the torque that you use on the brake banjo bolt?

Yessir just found that out the hard way!
07 silverado is 140 ft/pounds was this one not 4x4 or something to make it 120?
Is it the exact same for the back calipers??
so he is showing you the rear passenger side. I am currently replacing mine and to answer your question yes

I know this is late, but the axle nut is probably too tight

It actually isn’t because the 2wd has drums in the rear. Well at least mine does
@@zombiekill541 mines 4 wheel steering - was wondering if it was the same as a normal 4x4 with 2 wheel steer... Appreciate the response though 🤙
I notice you didnt mention how to watch that you put the calipers on the correct side...
his hand in the thumbnail look like a piece of chicken stuffed in a rubber glove XD
Is it just me or did did they forget to bleed the brakes and entire brake system??
Oh oh oh o'Reilly o'Rei'ily audo parts OWW
Sadly I work at Autozone
You should have loosened the banjo bolt first.

Wrong torque lugs to 140 ft lbs
Worthless video... the ONE part that trips diyers up is completely passed over. What to do when the new install leaks.
