Q: How can I eliminate the rattling sound which occurs when the caliper and anchor plate are excessively worn?
A:
You can remove the caliper, clean surfaces with a wire brush, and smooth any deep nicks or gouges with a file. Next measure the caliper contact surface for wear and the caliper to anchor plate wear. Replace the caliper and then remeasure the bumper gap. Finally, install a thicker shim or replace the components if the gap exceeds 1.50 mm (0.058 inches).

Q: What is the removal procedure for the Delco brakes?
A:
You need to remove two-thirds of the brake fluid from the master cylinder and raise the vehicle. Support the vehicle with suitable safety stands and reinstall two lug nuts to retain the rotor on K models below 3646.6 kg (8050 lbs.) GVW. Next compress the piston using adjustable pliers over the inboard lining tab and the caliper housing flange and remove the brake hose from the caliper by removing the inlet fitting bolt, the mounting bolts, the bolt boots, the caliper, and the bushings. Then you can inspect the mounting bolt and the sleeve assemblies for corrosion, replace any corroded parts and inspect the bolt boots for any nicks, cuts, or corrosion. Replace any damaged parts.

Q: What is the removal procedure for the Bendix brakes?
A:
You need to remove two-thirds of the brake fluid from the master cylinder, raise the vehicle and support the vehicle with suitable safety stands. Mark the relationship between the wheel and the hub, remove the tire and the wheel and position a C-clamp and tighten until the piston bottoms in the bore. Next, remove the C-clamp, the brake hose, the brake hose, the bolt, the support key, and the spring using a brass punch and a hammer to drive out the support key and the caliper assembly. Inspect the inside of the caliper assembly for signs of fluid and remove the caliper assembly. Inspect the inside of the caliper assembly for signs of fluid leakage. Then use a wire brush to remove any corrosion from the machined surfaces of the anchor plate and the caliper.

Q: How do you remove the brake caliper?
A:
You need to remove the fluid from the caliper and the brake pad and clean the interior of the caliper with clean shop towels. Next, remove the piston, direct the compressed air into the caliper fluid inlet, remove the boot, the piston seal with a nonmetal tool, and the bleeder valve. Then clean the bleeder valve, the caliper bore, the caliper passages, and the piston with denatured alcohol. Replace any piston which is scored, corroded, or contains damage to the chrome plating. Replace any caliper bore which is scored, pitted, or corroded. Finally, you can attempt to polish off any light corrosion with a crocus cloth.

A:
The proper way is to lubricate the bushings and the mounting bolt seals with Delco silicone lube GM P/N 18010909 or the equivalent and install the new bushings, the bolt seals, the new bolt boots, and the inboard lining. Snap the retainer spring into the piston and install the outboard lining with the wear indicator at the leading edge of the pad during a front wheel rotation. The back of the pad must lay flat against the caliper. Then install the caliper, pump the brakes until the brake pedal is firm before moving the vehicle, and check the fluid level in the master cylinder after pumping the brakes.
