So for the last couple days I had been hearing some strange thumping noises coming from the rear, as I thought. Then once in a while I'd feel a thump under my seat and by my feet. So yesterday I was installing my remote starter solenoid I went over the LCAs, PHR, and other fasteners looking for play or something loose. The suspension was tight. So I go over the front and didn't find anything there. So after knowing it wasn't in my head as I was re-adjusting my pinion angle I went over everything again by tapping them with a rubber mallet. Upon touching my left-rear caliper I noticed it moved more than it should. Then I realized only 3 of 4 fasteners were holding my backing plate on, and all those were loose - to the point of the bolts being able to move freely


all is good now. But I must say the rear 1LE rear brakes/calipers look like a nightmare to remove. Swapping pads on those puppies looks like a PITA. It looks like it's easier to remove them by unbolting the carrier. But then again I'm probably not seeing them right and they are probably esy as pie.

 

Holy ****! Glad you found it on time. Think twice when deciding against loc-tite folks.

 

You're right, you are not seeing it correctly.
All you do is remove one bolt, lift the caliper pull out the pads and drop in new ones.

 

I figured I was wrong. I guess I'll need to give it a second look. One bolt ehh?


Thanks,
James
