Astro Cargo Van Front Brake Pads Replacement 1999-2001 - 3 Minute DIY Video

Описание: This video shows how to replace your front disc brake pads on a 1999-2001 Chevy Astro Cargo Van. The work performed in the video was on a 2001 model.

NOTE about what lube to use:
Be sure to use Silicone Paste or some other high heat lube made for use with rubber, may types of lube will degrade rubber. I really like the 3M Silicone Paste, it is expensive but its great stuff and one bottle lasts a really long time. Here is the the Amazon link below:

Note: The brake caliper on the Chevy Astro Cargo van has hex (allen) bolts. You can use a hex key (allen wrench) but to get the proper torque its best to get a 3/8" Hex Bit Socket. They are about $2 at Home Depot and here is link to buy from amazon below:

Additional Note: This caliper has two sleeves with bushings on either side of the piston. To replace the caliper after changing the pads, these sleeves need to be pressed-in in a similar way that the piston does.
