2007 TrailBlazer: How to replace Front Brakes and Rotors
Channel: HouseCallAutoRepair
Date: 2020-10-13

Join me while I go replacing the front brakes and rotors on this 2007 Chevy Trailblazer. I completely clean up all of the contact points on the bracket, as well as clean and re-grease the slide pins.
 Here in the Salt Belt, brake jobs are done a bit differently than in other geographic areas... Rust gets into EVERYTHING. Every surface MUST be addressed! In some areas this is NOT the "normal" procedure, but it SHOULD BE! On EVERY brake service, EVERY and ALL surfaces of contact should be completely inspected and resurfaced as needed. When this practice is neglected, brake problems are soon to follow. Around here, that "soon" is usually about 1-2 months, when the brake pads will seize in the bracket, and/or slide pins will seize in their bore. Rotors sometimes bond themselves to the hub, and nothing wants to come apart, let alone accept new parts. While I may not always exhibit the PROPER practice of using a torque wrench, it IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, especially if you don't have a "feel" for this by doing this frequently.

 The rain provides for a short break and a nice rinse of the area...

 I do most, if not all repairs, with tools that I carry around in my overloaded 1997 Crown Victoria Police Interceptor. I perform "On-Site" braking and suspension repairs, amongst other diagnostics and services. My tools consist mostly of Craftsman, a few Stanley, Snap-On, Husky, Pittsburgh, and S&K tools. Scan tools include hand held Actron(s) DVOMs, and test lights. I also currently use a Zurich ZR Pro, for advanced and bidirectional diagnostics as well as a Snap-On Verus Pro, for more detailed diagnostics.  I'm always expanding my collection, based on need and convenience.
