Brake Job, Help if you have done it.

Posted by Big T on March 20, 19100 at 09:34:03:

Ok not to sound stupid in posting this message but I was wondering if any will help me. My '95 K1500 has over 98,000 and I am pretty sure that the brakes have never been bled.

1. Can anyone describe the procedure for bleeding the entire system and replacing all the fluid. Is this easy to do?

2.What tools will be needed?

3.Also, should I replace all the seals in the calipers or only if it looks to be leaking?

4.Is it really necessary to resurface the rotors and drums if they look smooth and ungrooved and have minimum thickness requirements?

Thanks In Advance.

Todd
