What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

[the_tool_man]

Yeah, hardest mod ever, glad you got that one done. How did you hang it? Any pics of the install process?

It came with its own mounting elastic band. No install pics. But I should point out that I posed it for that pic. Normally, it's oriented "edge on" to the driver to minimize obstruction of the view out the windshield.

Well, after beating on the wrench with a rubber mallet for 10-15 minutes, I said screw it and I'm taking it to the shop.

Trying to replace the pads and rotors all around. Done it plenty of times before. Not sure why the bolt is on there so ******* tight. I even heated it up with the torch, nothing. I was worried I was gonna strip the thread on the bolt and have to cut it off, so off to the shop she goes. Only charging me $100 to do it. I can't complain about that.

I usually use 1a auto YouTube videos for reference to make sure I'm not forgetting something or just a refresher, I definitely was not trying to turn it the wrong way. Ehh, at least my back won't hurt later today...

Have you tried 1a Auto’s 2 wrench trick? You use a larger wrench’s box end to hook the open end of the other wrench so it’s like a cheater bar on a ratchet. Works pretty good.

My dad taught me that trick years ago and has come in handy from time to time over the years Especially in a spot where you can't get a cheater bar over the wrench.

I’m not sure if its possible on the brakes on these vehicles because I haven’t done them yet- but a personal favorite of mine is a floor jack pushing on a breaker bar

Something is seriously wrong @CHOO CHOO is you can’t loosen a caliper bolt with a socket bro...

 

[Doubeleive]

believe it or not this works because the hole is big enough that it allows you to turn it outside the wheel well

Last week I was on vacation, visiting a tool store, and found a 1/2" drive x 36" long breaker bar with a socket for a 3/4" pipe made into the end. With a pipe socket I can make it as long as I want! I bought it immediately for occasions like this. Hammering on a wrench gets old quick. And and impact gun frequently won't fit in the space available.

You know how the rust is on these up north......don't give me that shit

If my air impact doesn't work or fit in the space, I have a few different lengths and diameters of steel pipe that usually do the trick
