4. The brakes were a royal PITA. More accurately, the caliper brackets. The boots have to be changed with a pressing tool. I don't have one, so I had to resort to getting them off with a screwdriver, a rubber mallet, and elbow grease. Getting the new ones on required the rubber mallet, intense amount of striking precision, and a ridiculous amount of time.

I'm quite curious - what boots are you talking about? I can't recall anything on a caliper that needed a press to change

Here's exactly what I'm talking about. It was literally like this, except mine is a 2012 Yukon Denali XL.

Interesting. Can't say I've ever replaced or needed to replace the metal rings. Only ever just the soft rubber boots.

Must be a rust belt thing


Learn something new every day!
