Any value in a set of good used 2-piston calipers and brackets from a GMT900?
Hello All! Wandered over here from the 2007-2014 forum. I recently upgraded the brakes on my 2013 Escalade ESV. As such, I have the stock front 2-piston floating brake calipers and brackets available. I have heard rumor that these calipers are useful to 2000-2006 GMT400's as a bolt on upgrade...- skpyle

2013 Escalade ESV Next BIG adventure: Cooling system refresh, Big 3 Electrical upgrade, Reseal intake, and VLOM mod...
Noosir. Not yet. I will be overhauling the rear brakes in the near future. With the rear wheels off, I plan to remove the right rear inner fender liner. I am hoping that gives me better access to the connectors.- skpyle

I do not. I have been daily driving my Escalade with this brake conversion on the stock master cylinder. No issues. There is no excessive pedal travel, either.- skpyle

The stock 2-piston floating calipers, brackets, and pads are all in excellent condition. Do you guys think the GMT800 crowd would be interested in these? Thanks- skpyle

16" rotor and Brembo caliper do a nice job of filling up the 22" wheel. With the front end finally back together, I took my Escalade out for a test drive and to bed the new pads. Drive went well, all felt fine. I bedded in the front brake pads to the rotors using Power Stop's procedure: -5...- skpyle

15mm thick hub centric wheel spacers with 6 on 5.5" pattern. I purchased them on Amazon. They are forged and have good review. We shall see... This shows the wheel side of the spacer. This is the rotor side of the spacer. I have only found 1 'issue' with these wheel spacers. The hub...- skpyle

I didn't feel like the ball joint separator fully seated the new lug stud. Washer, spacer, and lug nut used to fully seat the new lug stud. 6 longer lug studs installed in driver's side wheel flange. I cleaned the wheel bearing hub mounting bolts then reinstalled them with blue...- skpyle

Alright, we have established that the new calipers are too fat for the stock wheels to fit. Spacers and longer lug studs are needed. The front lug studs have the following dimensions: GM 11603331 Thread: M14x1.5 Knurl dia: 15.8mm (0.623") Shoulder length: 0.638" (16.2mm) Thread length: 31mm...- skpyle

Agreed. When I was researching this project, I saw reports that rotors from various manufacturers were in short supply.- skpyle

While getting my pressure bleeder set up and doing general clean-up, I let the calipers gravity bleed for awhile. Didn't really do much. :( With my pressure bleeder, I started at the inside bleeder on each caliper, and bled a full bottle(not bottle of brake fluid, but bottle on my little...- skpyle

I mounted the assembled brake calipers with the new mounting bolts and correct spacers. The mounting bolts and spacers were fiddly because the spacers had to go between the caliper mounting ears and the spindle. When I was mocking up the calipers for fitment, the rotors were not installed. I...- skpyle
