Is this your first ever disc brake work, ????
first read up on that, then ask questions. lots of pit falls in brake work.


its in the FSM. factory service manual
and at alldata.com
bad rotors so soon? (are the wobbling?) or scored? cracked?
just curious,
here is the first google hit, amazing, huh?
see warnings, there are more, (never use bricks as a jackstand)
all this is FSM quotes, no need to as any one can buy it. DO so.

http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f98/brake-job-548958/

now the nut shell
1 put rear on jack stands, tires off pavement, front end chocked.
2: hand brake set hard, if A/T set to PARK.
3: wheel off, lugs
4: behold rotor, detach caliper and hang it with , bent up, coat hanger wire. so as not to put stress on hoses, etc. do not damage ABS parts.
ABS parts are fragile. see em there? above.
5: on many cars the rotor is not free to come off
there are 2 exeptions some have screws there and others
have stud, clips holding the rotor from falling off during tire changes.
im not looking yours up, because its obvious on all cars what hold
the rotor fixed. (a glance)

Changed the rear rotors and brake pads and there is a grinding noise

Here is what I have found out. I have an 2008 Toyota Tundra 5.7 4x4, and I changed the rear brakes and rotors. No noise prior to service. After installing new rotors, I started getting a metal scraping noise. After $300.00 in diagnostics, I found that the new rotors are rubbing the against the brake shield. The inner lip of the rotor needs to be machined down to avoid this rubbing. See toyota tundra forum.com for pics.

My 2002 chevrolet 4wheel drive makes a noise alot like that of a break rubbing.It stops as the speed increases, I changed all four brakes and rotors and also changed the universal at the rear end. what...

Make sure backing plates behind front & rear rotors aren't rubbing on rotors. Jack up each wheel individualy & spin. May also be emergency brake shoes rubbing inside drum inside rear rotors.

Does the 2003 gmc yukon have rear rotors? and do the brakes need to be changed if the rotors need to be machined?

Yes, it has rear Disc Brakes, I would suggest to change the rear pads since they have to remove the rear Brake Calipers to remove the rotors and it wouldn't take much more time or labor to replace the pads at that point. That way when your rear rotors are re-installed and your new brake pads are installed your rear brakes should give you longer service life and better stopping power.

HOW TO CHANGE THE REAR BRAKE FOR BENZ ML320 2001?

The rear brakes are very easy to change. There is nothing to worry about due to it being a 4-wheel vehicle and you only need to change the rotors if they are at minimum specs(printed on the rotor itself). If you don't have a micrometer to check the rotor thickness, then look at the edge of the rotor for a lip. A tall lip on the edge indicates it is best to change the rotors. Also, if the mileage is over 60k miles or you live in a cold climate(where there is a lot of sand/salt on the roads), it's a good idea to double check your parking brakes. But be careful when removing the rotors, they can hang up on the parking brake pad and potentially pull the pad loose. If the rotors are frozen on, use a lubricant like wd-40 on the center of the rotor and let it soak in, then tap around the outside edge of the rotor/hub area with a hammer to break it free.
