Help Changing Rear Rotor-'02 Suburban K2500
Team,
I am going to undertake my first repair job on a vehicle in a LONG time (highschool) and could use suggestions / links to "how-to", etc. I have a 2002 Suburban K2500 (3/4 Ton, 4x4) with the 8.1L V8 engine. It is making a gross grinding noise from the rear left wheel. In a brief inspection, the noise appears to be coming from the emergency brake shoes (the pads look fine). The job: I am going to replace the rear left rotor, brake pads and e-brake shoes. If the pads are easy enough to replace I will also do the rear right pads (and check the rotor to see if it needs to be turned) Are there any tips out there for this job? Should I have any special tools - or can I do this with a standard 3/4" socket set, screw drivers, jack/jack stands, etc? Has anyone done this before? Thank you in advance for you help. BTW - I think this setup where my e-brake has ruined my rotor is absurd - - I don't even use the e-brake when we park! Todd, Melissa and the Boys 2002 Suburban K2500 "in need of rear brake job"

There are updated e brake shoes and retaining clips to correct the e brake wear problem, should get them from a dealer. Rest of the job is straight forward.

I was told there was some kind of a bulleton out on these trucks about a pin braking that holds the "parking brake" in place. I wonder if the dealer will fix this given this may be the case?

Thank you for the response again.
BTW - that picture in your signature looks a lot like my first car - it was a 1964 Comet with a straight-6 and three on the tree. I miss that car sometimes - times like this I guess when something needs to be done on a newer car . . . working on that car was easy!

I wasn't even close (though, the grill looks very similar) - - I'm thinking I should get the brakes done by someone who could've made a closer guess :P
