No pics, but spent yesterday fighting the rear brakes on our '01 Yukon XL. both of the rear calipers were sticking, causing the inside pad to wear on the rotor.... Well the driver side the inner pad was gone, and one of the bolts holding the bracket on, the head stripped on me. A bit of fighting with the angle & die grinders, I managed to get a Hex back on it, and tapped a socket on and finally got the bolt out, after heating the bracket with a propane plumbing torch for 20 mins. A trip to the Hardware store (once the step daughter got home) and $2.15 later I had a new M14x40 bolt to put in.
The brackets were all cleaned up once I finally got those god forsaken T55 headed slider bolts out after stripping not one but two T55 bits, even with penetrating fluid on them. (the second one, I just cut the sliders since the calipers were getting replaced anyway) Thank god the replacement calipers came with hex headed guides. Had to beat the driver side rotor off of the axle, when the pass side slipped right off, go figure.
In all it was like 5 stinkin' hours to change just the rear brakes. I'll wait for the next decent day to do the front ones next.
