We replace the front disc brake Pads on the 2015 Chevy equinox.
Need a new set of front brake pads with all the hardware including grease.
Floor jack and 2 jack stands
Wheel Chucks
14mm socket
Flat Screwdriver
22mm square socket for the wheel lugs and a Torque wrench.
chucking the back wheels
jack up the front of the car from the center frame until the wheels are off the ground.
place the jack stands under the frame and with the 22mm square socket, take off the lug nuts and put the wheel aside.
as we can see there's no scrape marks on the rotor this is why we will not be replacing it.
It’s easier to get to the back bolts if the wheel is turned all the way to the right.
to remove the top and bottom brake pad caliper bolts, use the 14mm
slide it out and carefully lay it on top of the upper arm or tie it if necessary.
do not let it hang from the hose.
using a flat screwdriver, if necessary, remove both brake pads.
remove the top and bottom slider brackets before installing the new pad sliders, make sure you clean the surface with a small wire brush if necessary and then smear some grease before clipping the new ones on.
remove the bottom and top slide pins from the boot and place some fresh grease on them.
it’s important that you put the pins back in the same place you take them out, since they are slightly different... and make sure they clip back into the boot collar so no water and dirt gets in them. if the boot is damaged, replace it we take the new slider brackets included in the kit and place one on the top and bottom of the caliper bracket Make sure the slide clips are centered and the tabs are bent over the sides.
this is to avoid them from moving side to side and hit the rotor.
bend them on each side of the top and bottom clip.
before installing the new inside brake pad, make sure this plate is transferred over from the old one, the inside pad is identified by the squeal tab here, when the pads get too low this tab comes in contact with the rotor and you will hear that squeal before installing the new brake pads, put a little grease on each end that will come in contact with the slider, then do the same to the other side, now we're ready to put the caliper back but first we need to push the cylinder in, so it won’t interfere with the new thicker pads.
using an old pad and a C clamp, slowly tighten the cylinder into the caliper then insert it back on to the caliper bracket line it up with the top and bottom slide pins and thread in the 2 bolts then torque them to 30 ft. lbs. while holding the pins with channel locks to stop them from spinning. put the wheel back on and hand tighten the lug nuts lower the jack till the tire touches the ground torque them in a 'star' pattern to 140 ft. lbs.
pump the brake pedal between 5 and 10 times to make sure its firm and drive a few miles to make sure.
