I'd put off replacing the rotors on my 2003 suburban for a long time, but after destroying the second set, I knew I had to do it. I was about to place an order for one-piece ones as well as a new differential. When I discovered these, I discovered a gasket, axle seals, and differential fluid. It's still not an easy job because you can't use an impact to remove the bolts, so you'll have to rely on hand wrenches, but it beats opening the rear end and pulling out both axles. As it is a little tricky around the arm for the emergency brake, several youtube videos show how to install it. Do the right side first as the videos show that one, the other side is upside down. If you have this problem with your truck, I think it's a great idea!.
First and foremost, a visual inspection was performed prior to installation. They claimed to be power coated, but they looked more like a shoddy paint job with scratches all over the place. I sandblasted them and the paint came off easily. I took them to a real power coating shop and had them done. It's an understatement to say that the metal on these is very thin, and it doesn't appear that it's as thick as the factory original. The installation was simple and took some finessing, but it turned out well in the end. There were no issues with the mounting holes or cutouts because they were all correct. I would have given them 5 stars if it weren't for the paint and metal gauge issues, but they do the job and I'm not dissatisfied with them.
Before I purchased this, I read other reviews. This was a brilliant concept, I thought. WRONG After inspecting it, I realized I should have returned it, but hey, I'll give it a shot this time. During the process, I realized it would be easier and a better job to simply pull the axle shafts. I did, and now I'm stuck with a two-piece system that isn't going to last nearly as long as the originals. By the way, this is a typical Dorman, made in China, and it is cheap, thin, and won't last. If you use these, remember to Loctite and torque the bolts to specs while the axles are still in place. Also, BE SURE TO READ THE WARNING SHEET BEFORE PAINTING OR USING ANY CHEMICALS ON THESE. It can be found in the box.
It's possible that it won't rot like GM OEM JUNK! br>This isn't a time-saving device. The axels can be pulled faster. The parking brake components can then be inspected and cleaned. br>It's nearly impossible to get these in without scratching the anticorrosion coating. br>The whole point is to avoid corrosion so that you don't have to replace them as frequently. br>I've gone through two sets of OEM ones, so maybe these will last.
Metal tabs do not get in the way of shields. On my Yukon 02, I installed the shields. They fit perfectly; just keep in mind that each shield has two tabs that must be pushed down after installation or they will contact your rotors, causing a loud noise! the sound of scratching (There were no instructions. ) I wish I had known. It took me a long time to figure out what the hell was touching the rotor because I kept thinking it was the shields the entire time! Once you push those two tabs against the parking brake backing plate on each side. . . You have everything you need to get started. I hope that this information is useful.
They don't fit at all, but once you bend them to get them on and such, after removing everything, including the parking brake, and slipping them on, they drag on the inside of the rotor badly and won't work at all, even with modifications. I'm going to order full replacement shields and pull the axles, because I figured this would save me time pulling axles, but the half pieces are a waste of time. I wasted 2 hours just trying to get one side on.
The first side took some getting used to, but the second side was a breeze to put together. It's a lot easier than removing axles and replacing them with original-style backing plates. The only issue I had was with two small tabs that needed to be clenched down, which were not mentioned in the instructions. They made a bad scraping sound that was difficult to pinpoint due to the small area they were hitting. Everything has been fine since I figured it out and fixed it.
It appears to, according to the manufacturer's website. I bought this for a 2006 Yukon Denali off the manufacturer's website, and it fits perfectly. This installation is fairly simple, but some tips can be found by watching a YouTube video - The parking brake actuator's placement in the dust shield isn't particularly intuitive. There are a couple of tabs that must be bent down or they will rub the rotor and cause noise. br>br>Much faster and easier than pulling the axles to install the 1 piece oem parts.
