Want this question answered?
The integral brake is a parking brake that is on the inside of a disk brake system . This system use cables to engage the parking brake just the same a drum brake system.
It is behind the disk brake rotor.
No , disk brakes front and rear ( the back disk brake rotors have small parking brake shoes inside of a drum portion )
Disk brakes at all four wheels. The rear disk has an area in the center where shoes for the parking brake fit. Cheers
Pins on the brake disk on transaxle are rusty and stuck.
how about a little help here! one or both, parking or regular. drum or disk, broken or worn out, Details please!!!
If the parking brake is attached to this unit a special tool is required, because piston may be threaded to operate parking brake. Tool is not expensive and available at Sears or auto parts. If this is a front wheel with no parking brake then caliper is frozen and will require either rebuilding or replacing
The wheel studs are replaced by first removing the tire from the brake. Remove the disk brake pads and caliper if it is the front and remove the brake drum if it is the back. Once you have the brake disk or drum off, simply pound the studs with a heavy hammer and they will pop out the back. if you plan on reusing the studs put the nut on the threads so it is flush with the end and then use hammer as not to ruin threads. Spray WD-40 or heat the brake disk/drum(not the studs) if they are stubborn or rusty.
I don't know about Silverado trucks but all of the emergency (parking) brakes I'm familiar with use the brake cable to "pull" and hold the brake against the drum (or disk), so if the cable breaks you simply cannot apply the emergency brake. That is, it is automatically released if the the cable breaks.
If the truck has disk brakes in the back then you have to adjust the emergency brake cable underneath the vehicle by loosening the outer lock nut then tightening the adjuster nut and then you re-tighten the outer lock nut down to the adjuster nut.
There is a plug in the back of the caliper that has an Allen head screw under it. You have to turn the screw all the way in and then back it off 1/3 of a turn.
Brake locked up? Broken return spring? (Drum brakes)? Parking brake cable frozen and not releasing? Disk brake? Frozen caliper? Bad wheel bearing?
