Hey Guys. Finally getting all of the parts I need to be on the path to getting my envoy fixed. I got the pads and rotors and I figured to save a few bucks I would install them myself. I have read about supposing to "bleed the lines" when changing the rotors and pads and on the previous site (for which we do not speakth) there is a DIY that does not say one word about bleeding the brake lines in the diagram at all. It just shows a CClamp being used and taking the cap off of the master cylinder. I need to know not just for my safety but for the safety of my kids as well. What is quote on quote the safe and proper way to do it. Sorry but I have read too many opinions and now I'm confused as kid with a hundred dollar bill in a candy store.
2002 Envoy XL
129" wheelbase
I've changed the pads before but didn't bleed the lines. This time I'm changing the rotors and putting new pads on again and I never had a problem with the ABS from the last time I did it just using the CClamp. Yes all new fluid was put in last time and the old was flushed before that (2 yrs ago).
I just want to do what is right to keep me and the kiddos safe. I can't take it to the garage because I don't really have the extra cash right now and I am confident that I can do the brakes as I've done them on my cavalier and sierra when I had them.
It failed inspection because of needing the old replaced. I also have to install an outer left tie rod to pass inspection as well.....
