Greased up new caliper, installed the new pads, and bled the brakes all around...
Caliper mounted on, new banjo and washers installed...
Side by side comparison with the non-broken rotor. New one just seems smaller to me and in this pic, you can tell...

Finally done!!
So since I hardly go into cargo area for the moment, I didn’t notice this
Does this look right? It’s the parking brake?
Condition of the other side. Was on its way out too...
Brake pads (old ones)
Side by side(old versus new ones)
Have no clue what the yellow stuff...
I was sure it the power steering pump pulley! Glad you figured it out.
Might have a one hiding if you need it
What size is that wire?

Will save it for when I do get one! Lol
Actually the backside brake pad or what was left of it, was still there. And no emergency brakes, those need to get done as well.
Didn’t even think about that...

I kept checking the front and rear wheels to see if that was actually happening, but no. At least, not that I could see.
Will post more pics when I get the job done!

Actually, I did hear the brakes make that squeaky sound that lets you know it’s time for them to be changed. But my thought was that I had a little more time. But then I started to hear like a grinding metal to metal sound that was making the truck feel like the front end was about to fall off...

Not the angle, to me it looks smaller too. And another pic of the caliper. Seems like the caliper seized up and blew the piston...
What’s left of the piston...

Absolutely! I’ll get a better feel of them after I leave but I’m thinking I’ll wish I had done the upgrade a whole lot sooner!

Very thin, in my opinion anyways! I thought I might have gotten a newly used rotor. I’ll get more when I get off from work. I was able to change it while on a long break. The other I might be able to take care of tomorrow before going to work.

Here are the pics
Rotor...
Caliper...
Originally, I thought I had a caliper in the front that was dragging, and I think I still do. So, ended up doing the NNBS brake upgrade while I was at it. But, turns out it was the one in the rear. Never did the idiot check on the brakes so partly my...
None as of yet...I’m a little “concerned “ as to where the brake fluid came from or if I’ll be needing to replace the brake line
