What are the rear brakes on a Tahoe?
The rear discs are actually a drum/disc combo with a “hat” shaped rotor. Its basically a rotor with a drum built into it. The drum part is completely separate brake shoes used strictly for the parking brake. I did not change the parking brake shoes because I had them replaced at the dealer about 2 years ago before my extended warranty ran out.
How do you Bleed the brakes on a Tahoe?
I used a 5 inch “C” clamp and one of the old brake pads to compress the pistons back into the caliper. Some people simply choose to turn the bleeder screw to relieve the pressure so the piston can retract. I don’t like to do that because then you have to bleed the brakes afterwards.
