How do you repair the rear brakes rotors calipers and pistons on a 99 Chevy Blazer?
After loosening the lug nuts and jacking the rear end up (both tires off the ground) take the tire / wheel off. Unscrew the caliper bolts attached to the caliper bracket which will release the caliper. After taking out the pads you can set the caliper on the axle. Next take the caliper bracket off (2 bolts). Lightly hammer / tap the rotor so that if will loosen up from the emergency brake if it is tight. Pull the rotor back and forth towards you and it should eventually come off. If it doesn’t you may have to really wack it thus causing you to now need a new ebrake. Install new rotor over emer brake. Here is decision time. You can clean up the bracket to accept new pads if they are tight or as I had to do I just bought two brand new loaded calipers and put them on, bled the brakes and put the tires back on. It was cheaper buying a loaded caliper for $35.00 each then buying 2 brackets and the needed hardware.
