How Do You Change The Brakes On A Chevy Colorado?
The Chevy Colorado comes equipped with an anti-lock braking system that uses brake fluid-forced pistons. The brakes are designed to press the caliper pistons against the brake pads, which in turn make contact with the brake rotors to stop the vehicle. In order for the brakes to function properly, the brake fluid needs to be at a sufficient level, the lines need to deliver the fluid as designed, and the pads need to able to withstand the heat and pressure during braking. If the brake pads are worn, they will not be up to the task, and brake failure can result. You can have your worn brake pads replaced by an auto mechanic, or you can do it yourself. Step 1 Place wheel chocks behind the rear tires of the Colorado. Put the transmission in “Park” and apply the parking brake. Step 2 Loosen the lug nuts on the front wheels with the socket on the tire iron. Step 3 Put the jack beneath the frame of the Chevy and lift the vehicle. Remove the lug nuts and pull the wheels from the wheel bolts. St
