GMT900 front brake upgrade/Rock Auto question

[TexasYukon]

Before I place the order for my '01 Yukon (I already have 18" wheels & the rear brakes were just replaced a few months ago so I don't need to change the rears & I know the NNBS rear brakes are smaller anyways), I want to make sure that I'm ordering the right parts.

ABS hubs..... http://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=8746376&cc=1373105&jsn=3

GMT900 brake upgrade(just basic brakes, no slotted/crossdrilled or painted for me)..... KCOE2067? http://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=7485116&cc=1433252&jsn=1

I was able to confirm that those were correct & I ordered them today. I'll re-post after they are installed for further confirmation that they DID fit.

I see there's a $65 core charge. Sending your old calipers back?

 

[TexasYukon]

Yeah.

 

[Tonyrodz]

I wonder if they'll take your cores with no problems. Since you have the smaller GMT800 calipers.

 

[TexasYukon]

Even if they don't, they are cheaper than any local stores prices even if I don't get the core charge refunded & I won't be needing them & won't having them laying around in my way. I think core charges are standard for all cores & a "caliper is a caliper" to all stores as long as it is rebuildable.

Brakes were done today. The KCOE2067 was a 100% direct bolt-on, no issues whatsoever, not with the parts at least. The OE bolts for the hub though? 1 totally stripped its head, as if it was made of aluminum. So only 1 hub got replaced not both. Now I hafta figure out how to get a "headless" bolt out, to do the hub. I painted the calipers at brackets blue. I call it Penske Blue, not Ford Blue! lol

Easy Out.

 

[TexasYukon]

Easy Out.

It is a bolt on the back of the spindle for the ABS Hub. Not a lot of room back there.

I know, not saying it's easy but that is what the tools were once called.

I'm going to need a kit myself after this weekend's fun. A long time ago we used the Craftsman set and the original "Easy Out" kit.
