INFORMATION
Subject:
Front Caliper Brake Hose Clearance
Models:
1999 Chevrolet and GMC C1/K1 Models (Silverado and Sierra)
For above listed vehicles the following should be observed to keep the front caliper brake hose from coming in contact with the inner wheel after
servicing the front brakes:
1.
Prior to servicing the brakes, where caliper removal is required, carefully mark the brake hose relative to the knuckle attachment bracket with a
white marking pen. This will become the visual aid to assure adequate clearance between the wheel and brake hose during reassembly.
2.
When calipers are removed, do not allow the caliper to hang by the brake hose. Calipers must be supported by mechanic wire or equivalent (refer
to Brake Pads Replacement - Front, Item 6 in the Brakes Section of the 1999 C/K Silverado and Sierra Truck Service Manual) to assure that the
brake hose is not stretched and allowed to move relative to the knuckle attachment bracket.
