2007 Chevy Silverado 1500 – Replacing Front Brake Pads & Rotors

Just a quick video showing how to replace the front brake pads and Rotors on a 2007 Chevy Silverado 1500. The pads weren’t worn down too far, but there was a groove on one side of the brake rotor.

You will need:
Large Screwdriver/pry bar or a large C – Clamp
3/4″ or 19mm socket and/or wrench
18mm socket and / or wrench
Breaker Bar
Sil Glyde brake grease



Torque the Main Caliper bracket bolts to the spindle to 129 ft. lbs
Torque the caliper installation bolts (that go into the slide pins) to 80 ft. lbs.
I got some conflicting info on these torque specs, so I will refer you to double check your manual.
Also, I read later that it would be good to clean off the loctite and reapply it to the caliper bracket mounting bolts.
Here is a link to the Sil Glyde that I used on the brake pads

It would also be good to remove and clean the slide pins and lubricate them with the Sil Glyde as well.

As I mentioned it is a good idea to clean off the brake rotor before putting the wheel back on.
Here’s the link to the Brake Cleaner:

Thanks for watching!
Best of luck to you.
