The dealership did mine at 36k miles. I'm now at 45k. I get an occasional squeak from the rears but it's what I considerable normal for Brembos, not the horrendous shrieking that it was doing before. The occasional squeak that I get now lasts just about 3 seconds but isn't obnoxiously loud. It started doing the new squeak at around 43k. The previous paste-only fixes were lasting around 7k miles for me. I had that done 3 times before this new TSB came out, so it's been nice not hearing that insanely loud squeal for 9k miles.
dude the squealing is vibration, which is why all you need is some form of absorption for the pads and piston applicator, which then the noises will go away 100%?
Also the TSB instructions can be found online at www.ssforums.com/forum/documents-manuals/155233-brake-squeal-bulletin-latest-remedy-procedure-2015-2017-my.html
You're welcome. The tubes of copper paste don't look like they contain much in them, but there's a lot more than it looks like in each one when you use something to squeeze out the paste from the bottom.
I just now ordered the parts you listed so thanks for your helpful video. Due to disability, I'll need to find someone to perform the task, but at least I'll have everything needed. Heck, I still haven't even been able to install the 3rd Brake Light I purchased from you almost a year ago. I feel more like a parts collector.
I'm glad you liked the video. Sadly, I had to sell my 2017 Chevy SS in January 2020 to help fund my company. Although, I do have another Holden manufactured car with my 2014 Chevy Caprice PPV.
Nice Video, just got new Brembos and was wondering what the tubes were for. 140ftlbs on lug nuts, sure it's not Newton Meters, that's a hell off a lot.
Yes, it's 140 ft lbs for the wheel lug nuts. The 5th Gen Camaro, Chevy SS Sedan and the Caprice PPV all have that as their lug nut torque with stock wheels.
Great video. Sound was good too. Maybe just that my ears are working better tonight ha. Thanks for the upload. How many shims do you need to order(1 )or (2) or is one packet (part) enough for both sides? Thanks again, keep up the great videos...
thank you for your informative videos, and sorry to learn that you sold your vehicle. Could you comment on the method that you used to raise and support the chevy ss?
Depending on the task being performed, I'll either use my set of Race Ramps (if no wheels need to be taken off) or I'll use a combination of a low profile floor jack along with a ZL-1 pinch weld adapter I purchased several years ago to lift the car. I was able to lift the side of the car enough in this video with the floor jack to get the aluminum jack stands in place and then I moved the floor jack to another location to act as a secondary/safety jack in jack of a jack stand failure. The jack stands in this video (BIG RED T43004) are available on amazon (my affiliate link for them) amzn.to/2Nzplnp I also purchased a couple of rubber caps for those jack stands, but they don't seem to be available any longer. I will put those on the top of those jack stands when I want to use them in the pinch weld of the car. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CNJL5G9 With my current 2014 Chevy Caprice PPV (similar jack points to the Chevy SS), I purchased some low profile ESCO jack stands to place the vehicle on. I'll use the pinch weld adapter and a floor jack to lift the car and then place low profile jack stand at the point for a "lift" pad on the Chevy Caprice PPV (again it should be the same as the Chevy SS since they're the same base platform made by Holden). I haven't used these on the front lift points of the Caprice PPV yet, but I plan to when I refurbish the front suspension on my Caprice PPV in the next couple of months. I use those jack stands in this video th-cam.com/video/YB4e_iTd4iY/w-d-xo.html where I replace the rear shocks / end links on my Caprice PPV.

I use the floor jack along with the ZL-1 pinch weld adapters to lift one corner of the car. While it's lifted on the floor jack, I place the jack stand in the "lift" position.

@@RetroCarGuy530 I know--that forum has several varying opinions regarding properly lifting and supporting the SS. In your video, you support with your stand (with ZL) at the pinch welds, so where did you actually lift with floor jack?
@Niel Gilmor as I mentioned above, I used the ZL-1 pinch weld adapter (I only have one of those) with the floor jack. I lifted the side of the car with the floor jack and inserted one of the jack stands (not using the pinch weld adapter). I have a rubber pinch weld piece for the BIG RED jack stands and I sit the car's pinch weld in the rubber pinch weld piece for that jack stand. It's not the best approach, that's why I switched to using the low profile jack stand at the lift points and use the floor jack with the ZL-1 adapter to jack that part of the car up and then put the jack stand at the lift point area on the body. There are a wide variety of opinions on this topic. I'm just telling you what I did and you can judge for yourself if it seems reasonable for you and your car.
It may have similar characteristics to copper anti seize, but it appears to be a special use lubricant Molykote CU-7439. The manufacturer claims this copper paste resists removal by water/steam which regular anti seize may not be as resistant to removal.
I performed the TSB outlined tasks on my 2017 Chevrolet SS sedan at 3200 miles. Has the latest TSB resolved the issue (long term) for your Chevy SS?

ooOO Chevy Caprice(ex cop car?)
Long wheel base
Similar Engine -
Similar to the Holden Statesman but sold in North America as a police fleet vehicle. Mine has the 6.0L L77 engine and 6L80E transmission.
Thank you for this video and other information pertaining to this.

Wow. Ok so if factory Brembo them 14mm wheel studs are fitted. Makes sense. Hello from Australia. Cheers.

GM part number 92507424 is a repackaged Brembo part that contains four brake pad shims. You use two shims per rear wheel.
and thank you. I was looking for this info. Appreciate the reply :)
Hi have you had much noise since doing this TSB 3 years ago?
Sadly, I don't own that car any longer. For the year after I applied the copper paste per the TSB, I did not any squealing noises.
@@RetroCarGuy530 Do you think any brake lube will work or does it have to be the GM copper paste?
@Steve I think any decent quality brake lube (paste) will work.
@@RetroCarGuy530 It definitely stopped the squeal, thanks. Hopefully when I wash my wheels next, it won't wash away the paste?
