K 1500 Yukon Denali AWD V8-6.0L VIN U (2002)
Notice: Support the brake caliper with heavy mechanic's wire, or equivalent, whenever it is separated from it's mount and the hydraulic flexible brake
hose is still connected. Failure to support the caliper in this manner will cause the flexible brake hose to bear the weight of the caliper, which may
cause damage to the brake hose and in turn may cause a brake fluid leak.
3. Remove the caliper from the mounting bracket and support the caliper with heavy mechanic's wire or equivalent. DO NOT disconnect the
hydraulic brake flexible hose from the caliper.
4. Remove the disc brake pads from the disc brake caliper bracket.
5. Remove the disc brake pad retainers from the disc brake caliper bracket.
6. Remove the caliper pins (5) from the disc brake caliper mounting bracket (3).
7. Remove the caliper pin boots (4) from the disc brake caliper mounting bracket.
8. Inspect the disc brake hardware.
