Need help with brakes
Hey folks,
Got a 2006 SCrew 2WD. The rear brakes need replacing and was wondering if someone could show me how to do it. Either by a link or here. Would be greatly appreciated! Not sure if rotors need changed or turned yet till I inspect it.

Right from the tech manual. also make sure to use loctite 252 (the blue stuff) when re-installing the caliper bolts, cheap insurance, i have had 1 bolt come loose on me after i installed my lift kit, but i caught it on my 500 mile re-torque.

Here's some things to keep in mind.
1. Check the brake fluid level after you do brakes, it'll change if you have a drastic difference in pad height.
2. Hang up the caliper, never let it dangle from the brake line.
3. Make sure you spray brake cleaner on the rotors before installation *if you do rotors*
4. Do one side at a time for reference purposes.
