I am going to change the front brakes and rotors on my vehicle

Hi,

Replacing the brakes and rotors really isn't too hard. To get you started, here is a link that shows in general how it is done. You can use this as a guide.

The directions and pics below are specific to your vehicle. Torque specifications are included in the directions. I highlighted them.

Note: Pics 1-15 are pad replacement. The remaining pics are for the disc rotor.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have other questions. Also, the pics below contain everything.

Take care,
Joe

I need the torque specs for the caliper itself and the mounting bracket.

Hello, I'm Danny.

Sorry for the confusion. The torque specifications are always included in the related photo instructions we include. The torque for the brake caliper to caliper bracket is to be 42 NM (Newton Meters) or 31 ft. lbs. The brake caliper bracket to hub-spindle assembly is to be 150 NM or 110 ft. lbs. I've attached pictures for you below for your vehicle. Hope this helps and thanks again for using 2CarPros.

Thanks for your help.

You're welcome!

I will when I get puzzled and can't figure something out.

Thanks for jumping in, Danny. I thought I had them highlighted in the first post. Regardless, I'm glad to hear everything is taken care of.

Take care,

Joe

Would the torque specs for the rear caliper and mounting be the same as the front?

Hello again.

No, those torque values are different. I've attached 2 pictures below showing the 2 torque values for the rear brake caliper and bracket.. Hope this helps and thanks again for using 2CarPros.

On my 2004 GMC Envoy, I changed an upper ball joint thinking that was causing a clunking sound when I run over bumps on a road. The noise is still there. I checked the hub bearing for play in the bearing. It moves about a half inch at the 3:00 and 9:00 position. I'm thinking the hub bearing is getting worn and needs to be replaced. What are your thoughts? The car runs great with a couple small dings in it. Brakes are all new along with brake rotors. Front and rear are all new. The lower ball joint seems to have no slack (play) in it.
