Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.

In this video, we're going to show you how to replace your E-brake shoes on this 2002 Chevy Suburban. We show you on the passenger side, but the driver side is the same procedure. The items you'll need are new emergency brake shoes from 1Aauto.com; 8, 12, 18, and 22 mm socket and ratchet with a piece of pipe for leverage; flat blade screw driver; large C-clamp; torque wrench; and jack and jack stands.

Start off by loosening up these lug nut covers. We'll fast forward as Don does this. Once those are all loosened up, you can pull the hub cap free. Now, you want to loosen the lug nuts preliminarily, raise the vehicle and remove them the rest of the way, unless you have air powered tools. Then, you can do it while it's up in the air.

Then, to inspect your brakes, just run your finger along the rotor, and check for any deep grooves. You can look in here for the life of this brake pad, and then through here for the life of the other brake pad.

Now, remove these two 12 mm bolts. We'll fast forward as Don does that. Use a large C-clamp. You just put it on this end on the back of the caliper, and on this brake pad and just twist it in. This is going to push the caliper piston in and make it easier to pull the caliper up and off. Now, remove the large C-clamp. Pull the caliper free and set it aside. Now, pry out the brake pads.

Now remove these two 18 mm bolts. Just use a piece of pipe to help break it free. We'll just fast forward as Don removes those two bolts. Now pull your caliper bracket off. Pull the rotor off.

There should be a bracket underneath here held in with an 8mm bolt. So, you'd want to remove that next. Ours is missing. After that, you can pull your E-brake shoes forward, and then hit them down. Now you just want to pull it over the hub. You do have to angle it just right to get it over.

Now, before you install your new E-brake shoes, make sure you put this new bracket into place. The E brake shoes from 1Aauto do come with this bracket. Just replace that 8mm bolt and tighten it up. Put your new E-Brake shoes on. Now you want to just put these two tabs on the ends of the shoes into these two slots, one on either side of the adjuster here. Once you get one side into the slot, just use a flat blade screw driver to pry the other side. Once it's lined up, you can just use your flat blade screw driver to just turn this adjuster. If it's a little stiff, just use a hammer. Just adjust it so that when you put your rotor on there's just a little bit of resistance.

Slide your new rotor into place. Then twist on a lug nut to hold the rotor in place while you put the caliper bracket back on. Then put your caliper bracket back into place and replace those two 18mm bolts. We'll fast forward as Don tightens those up. You want to torque these to about 85 foot-pounds.

Push your brake pads back into place. Then, put your caliper back down into place and replace those two 12mm bolts. Now we'll just fast forward as Don does this and tightens them up. You want to tighten these to about 30 foot-pounds.

Put your wheel back into place. Then replace your lug nuts and tighten them preliminarily. We'll fast forward as Don does this. Lower the vehicle and torque the lug nuts to 100 foot-pounds in a crossing pattern. Then replace that hub cap and tighten up each of your lug nut covers.

Before taking the vehicle out on the road, you want to just pump the brake pedal until it firms up. Then do a stopping test from 5 miles per hour, and then 10 miles per hour. Then you're all set.
