2002 Cummins Front Brake Installation Video By: DieselMinded
Was messing around today , it was nice out ... brakes started grinding the other day so i decided i would take a few minutes and change them out , thought what the hell and grabbed the camera and had some fun. Hope you enjoy...

if anyone is curious about the break caliber compressor , I drew this up and handed it to Tad Murata (The BHAF Heat Shield Guy) and in about 10 minutes he gave me it.

Here is an old install guide i made
http://dieseldatabase.com/images_art...nt_brake01.jpg Parts Required: Brake Shoes, Brake Cleaner, Brake Fluid, Little Helper Tools Required: 1/2 Inch Drive Ratchet, Cheater Pipe, 2 Extensions, 15/16 6 pt Socket, 7/32 Allen Wrench, 16 MM 12 pt Socket, Big Strait Screw Driver, Floor Jack, Penetrating Oil, 3/8 inch wrench http://dieseldatabase.com/images_art...nt_brake02.jpg Product Information: Here are the brake Shoes I got them at Advanced Auto Nothing Fancy just the Life Time warrantee ones http://dieseldatabase.com/images_art...nt_brake03.jpg The Ys: There are screachers on the brake pads but Once you notice them squealing its almost too late. My rivets were already starting to bore in to my rotors and I only drove about 50 miles squeaking around until I had the chance to change them... BAD IDEA ! How ever I'm not doing a Rotor Change at this time thier not real bad yet, but would of been trashed with about another 100 miles with the brake shoes in there current state http://dieseldatabase.com/images_art...nt_brake04.jpg The Carnage: 48,000 Miles http://dieseldatabase.com/images_art...nt_brake06.jpg The Install: Set the E-Brake http://dieseldatabase.com/images_art...nt_brake07.jpg Pry off the Hub Cap with a big strait Screw Driver http://dieseldatabase.com/images_art...nt_brake08.jpg Brake each of the lug nuts loose (15/16) but DO NOT REMOVE Most garages probly have a 4 way or the stock equipment Tire Iron, But I had to use a 1/2 drive 15/16 and a cheater pipe http://dieseldatabase.com/images_art...nt_brake09.jpg Jack up the Drivers side. Here's a good jack point http://dieseldatabase.com/images_art...nt_brake10.jpg Finish removing all the lug nuts, and Pull the tire off |
http://dieseldatabase.com/images_art...nt_brake11.jpg Here's the brake Caliper
http://dieseldatabase.com/images_art...nt_brake12.jpg Note: These photos are from the Passenger side http://dieseldatabase.com/images_art...nt_brake13.jpg http://dieseldatabase.com/images_art...nt_brake14.jpg Spray the Allens and the Caliper Bolts with some penetrating oil. http://dieseldatabase.com/images_art...nt_brake03.jpg http://dieseldatabase.com/images_art...nt_brake16.jpg With the 7/32 Allen Wrench Remove the Allens http://dieseldatabase.com/images_art...nt_brake17.jpg http://dieseldatabase.com/images_art...nt_brake18.jpg http://dieseldatabase.com/images_art...nt_brake19.jpg With the 16 MM 12 PT Remove the Caliper Bolts |
http://dieseldatabase.com/images_art...nt_brake20.jpg A little tap with your palm and the caliper will come loose from the rotor.
http://dieseldatabase.com/images_art...nt_brake21.jpg Don't let the caliper hang on the brake lines, just set it up on top of the rotor http://dieseldatabase.com/images_art...nt_brake22.jpg To remove the Outer Caliper locate the removal points (arrows) and just pull it up out of there http://dieseldatabase.com/images_art...nt_brake23.jpg Here's the Outer Caliper This piece holds your brake pads. http://dieseldatabase.com/images_art...nt_brake24.jpg Push the pads out http://dieseldatabase.com/images_art...nt_brake25.jpg http://dieseldatabase.com/images_art...nt_brake26.jpg Put new pads in http://dieseldatabase.com/images_art...nt_brake27.jpg Set it aside http://dieseldatabase.com/images_art...nt_brake28.jpg Locate the Brake bleeder and loosen it |
http://dieseldatabase.com/images_art...nt_brake29.jpg With channel locks or a C clamp compress the clynders then retighten the bleeder
Note: Use the brake cleaner during the whole reinstall process Re-Position the outer Caliper to the inter Caliper Place the caliper back on the rotor and replace the Allens and the Bolts Now find your helper Have your 3/8 inch wrench on the bleeder, Have your helper get in the truck and pump the brakes a few times then hold it to the floor, Then loosen the bleeder and brake fluid will squart out, Once its done squarting out tighten the bleeder, then tell your helper OK, Then they will remove there foot from the brake, Repeat till your sure there is no air in the system. Note: When you loosen the bleeder and they are pushing on the brake, the peddle will go all the way to the floor Do NOT let them let off the brake while the bleeder is open or it will fill your brake system full of air. http://dieseldatabase.com/images_art...nt_brake30.jpg Replace your Tire http://dieseldatabase.com/images_art...nt_brake31.jpg Snug the lug nuts you wont be able to fully tighten them right now because the tire will want to spin http://dieseldatabase.com/images_art...nt_brake32.jpg Let the jack down & Tighten down the lug nuts in a similar order http://dieseldatabase.com/images_art...nt_brake33.jpg Replace the hub cap Now Repeat the process on the other side When the other sides done fill your brake reservoir back to full then test drive |

|
:D i have air tools its a 2003 Model named Chase :)
Thanks i was screwing off the first part then realized my 10 minutes was about up so had to rush threw it . i did bleed the breaks .....and put the tire back on :D looking at the old install i still have the same jack and kobalt 1/2 drive remember that i video tape my self so you see a lot being done with my left hand , People seem to enjoy the videos , its a bit of a pain to get the footage by your self and it took 2 hours of editing and 2 hours to upload , so that's basically my Saturday right there . Maybe it will bring in some You Tubers :tu: About the compressor thanks for the props , its heavy duty for sure |
liked the work and show never have seen one of them tools either but one will probably be built before i do my next brake job :yeah:
