I've done this before but it's been years so I wanted to refresh my knowledge. This site is a go for a professional presentation for replacing parts they have available.
That was the best video I’ve ever seen. Very, very, informative! Extremely thorough, with know annoying music, know distractions. If every mechanic was this good, KNOW mechanic would have a bad name. Thank you

I was having a lot of trouble getting my rear rotors off. The problem turned out to be that the e-brake shoes were expanded too close to the inside of the drum/rotors. I figured it out the hard way but it cost me two destroyed shoe retainer caps, and a night of no vehicle! (Note to self: don't start brake repairs after 5 PM!) Although I know about it now, it could be really helpful to others if you could add a short section to the disassembly process run-down describing the function and adjustment of the manual (not "self") adjuster, and how it can be used to retract the shoes away from the drum to make rotor removal a lot easier. Your explanation of adjusting it during reassembly is perfect. If some version of that could be worked in to the first section of the video (such as at 7:55 of your "How to Replace Rear Brake Pads and Rotors 10-16 GMC Terrain"), so much the better. (This could also apply to Sue's "How to Replace Rear Pads and Rotors 10-17 Chevy Equinox.") These and other 1A videos I've watched, and used, are very well done. Thank you.
Excellent, excellent, excellent instructional video showing me exactly what I need to know. Of course it helps to already have a rudimentary degree of knowledge on the topic, having replaced many brake pads & rotors in my life. Of course good old GM engineering makes everything a little harder than it has to be, but I digress. Thanks for the awesome video!
If rotor does not want to slide off after loose from hub, you should back off brake adjuster as the rotor may be slightly grooved or has a rusted edge that can hang up on brake pad. You need to be able to slide rotor off from hub by hand as it will not come off if angled as would happen if you tried to pound off on back of rotor.
Thank you! When I was changing my rear rotors on my Silverado I kept the emergency cable engaged on accident, while i was man handling the rotor off, all the springs popped out from the back of the rotor and I didn’t know how to fix the emergence pads. Thank you thank you thank you!!
+Liz Whitlock Thanks for watching! I am sorry to hear you had a bit of an issue with the e-brake. Just one of those things that is easy to overlook! 1aauto.com
7:53 "they actually do make a tools for this, but its outdated and not many people use it".............................................proceeds to struggle with removing spring. all kidding aside, great video though, it really helped!
Do you know where I can find the little slotted washers that hold the retaining springs down? I was removing the rear rotors on a 2015 GMC 1500 and the parking brake got hung up in the process, stripping out those washers. Do those washers come in different sizes?
Very good video - slow and detailed. A few questions - if you notice some rust on the slider pins but they still slide in/out good when lubricated- would they still need to be replaced? Not sure how rust got in there - the boots were on and not perforated. And the brake pads - if they mount very snug and need to be pushed in, is that too tight? Or should the brake pad tabs be ground down to they fit in slightly loosely?
Hi there , please if you can do a Video on how to change these GM rear Cable foot brakes . If you could zoom your camera closer when you change a part it is much better . Thank you .
Don't think you should put grease on the tins, it collects dirt. Makes sense to put grease underneath to prevent corrosion which can inhibit brake pad motion

I just have to say thank you for this video I got my emergency brake replaced
You might want to clean the parking brake shoes removing any grease from your gloves before putting the rotor back on.
If rotor does not want to slide off after loose from hub, you should back off brake adjuster as the rotor may be slightly grooved or has a rusted edge that can hang up on brake pad. You need to be able to slide rotor off from hub by hand as it will not come off if angled as would happen if you tried to pound off on back of rotor.
Thank you, everything is clear and very simple.
Do you need to open the bleeder cap a little before pushing the caliper back in?
Thank you had some questions about the parking. And you answered them and then some. Appreciate it.
Amazing video full details 👌🏻
You guys are the best.....save me ton of money!!!

Excellent video that I can use to replace my 2011 Equinox parking brake pads
Great video. Is this process the same for an Acadia?
Needle nose pliers for the hold down springs? Aw man thats genius!
Thanks man this is the video i am looking for,your video is helpful
Thanks for checking us out! +Jonifer Doladol
This is driver side rear right? For gmc terrain only one wheel has the parking shoes? Thank you

+Zachary Waterman Thanks for watching! We do not carry them at this time, but they would likely be included in a parking brake shoe hardware kit.
Why not put anti seize on the hub since that’s where it seems to stick most of the time.
Thank you, good video 😊
Is this different than the silverado?

+Ranger Rick As long as they slide in and out okay and do not bind up they should be fine. Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com
What do you think about the brake pad part of my question ?
Hi there , please if you can do a Video on how to change these GM rear Cable foot brakes .
If you could zoom your camera closer when you change a part it is much better .

Excellent video! Thanks!!
+2MyPlayList We are happy we could help!
Check it out BUT lug nuts are 140 ft/lbs not 125. I did mine to 125 and they came loose within 2 weeks...
Those springs are a PTA
sometimes you put lub. on the slides and sometime you dont
I noticed the same thing. Don't think you should
easy to follow,
+Carl Karpouzis Thank you!
