My 1987 rear bearing and cap did not come off that easy. The technique looks practical but not for a seized rear cap or on since new. She’s 37 years old now and still going strong. Excellent video. 💯
I'm working on my 72 Pontiac Catalina and I was trying to figure out where that spring clip goes that you put in on the piston side. You showed me exactly how it goes in. Thank you
First time I've watched any of your videos. I'm actually planning on replacing my bro-in-laws, complete brakes on his Chevy square body B-10 today. Like now actually. Lol. I never knew of there being a b10 bodystyle, opposed to the C10.. I believe the B10 was the daddy of the c10. It's a 78 I believe and is a very solid 2 tons. Lol. The bodies mint cosmetically but is being slowly sanded and primed for a custom repaint. Your video was very easy to listen to, some voices just are tough to listen intently to for very long especially when truly trying to fix something yourself by picking another mind.lol. you have a great voice and you explain in a very intelligent way that allows for slow minded people such as myself, lol, to easily follow along with you and understand you. Keep up these informative videos as I've watched numerous due to my excessive need, to always having a project, or 50 lol, that always needs something fixed, upgraded, or just something I thought looked good on paper so of course nothing could ever go wrong in that case right? I liked your way of explaining and hope you do many more sir. Lol ty again, very good video it helped me remember few things so I know that alone will save me a good bit of time also I'd forgotten that it's a very wise idea to go ahead and those bearings while you've gotten the caliper etc off as well as clean and regrease the spindles. I'd literally forgotten those important things.
Thank you for your comment! I’ve had to put most of the car& truck projects on the back burner for a few months since we just bought a farm and I’m having to deal more with tractors, chainsaws and ATVs. I’ll be taking my ‘84 K1500 out there at some point and get some videos going again!
That’s amazing, I have a 1954 Ford NAA that’s basically the same tractor as your Jubilee. And an Allis-Chalmers WD as well. Both of them came with the farm and haven’t run in years. My goal is to get the Ford going in the next 2 months or so.
@@pinkcaddygarage267 I know your 54"s literally the same tractor as my Jubilee. If theres anything you need help with finding or fixing on your Jubilee, I'm actually pretty educated on them, as I was forced to learn how to work on mine due to needing to clear a large amount of land, install fencing around it all, as well as install a very large amount of irrigation and till up, fertilize and plant a large garden on very limited money and had to use the Jubilee to complete it all. That tractors been quite a blessing. I also use an 8' bushhog with it, to mow all the land and it honestly looks like a finishing mower did it all. True story lol. Let me know if you need any help or advice with anything with it, as I'd be happy to help brother.
My Grandfather gave me his 1983 C10 suburban. im pretty sure the calipers are original. Do these have finite life spans of I should replace them regardless when i change out the pads?
They technically don't have a finite life, but will eventually either leak to cease to move freely and need to be replaced. As long as they're functional and not leaking you should be fine.
I just replaced mine and the new brakes came with a small clip, I have no idea where it goes I watched 10 videos and no one talks about the clip. Do you know anything about installing it?
I’m not sure what clip you’re referring to. Some brake kits come with a retainer clip clip clip into the cavity of the caliper piston and then the brake pad clips onto that to help hold it in place while you are installing it. Could that be it?

Glad to help…I’m a Pontiac guy at heart!

That grease seal trick was super nifty.

What’s a b10? All I could find about is b10 was a ford looking chevy truck that was sold in Latin America
thx exact same set up on my 1977 elcamino. i haven’t seen this roter setup and im fearly new to mechanics so i was confused video helped a ton.
Glad it helped!
Do you always have to bleed brake line? Didn’t hear mention of that. Thanks for the very helpful video.
If you replace the caliper
Can 4 wheel antilock breaks be put on a square body chevy as an upgrade?
Not that I am aware of. Interesting thing to research if you wanna put the time in though.

its to hold the brake pad in the caliper were the piston is
Great video, only advice is do not reuse cotter pins, always use a new one.
You can ask 10 different mechanics and you'll get 10 different ways of doing those hub nuts.
I believe you’re right!
I admit, I do abuse my tools sometimes
