How to install new Rotors and Pads -- 2008 LTZ

Did you put Parking brake stuff back or just remove the shoes or?

I removed shoes as they will cut the inside of the rotor and then you have issues with brakes and/or tire falling off.

I put back.  I typically use my parking brake.


But... I did stretch the crap out of the passenger side rear parking brake.


i tested the park brake hold on a hill after the brake job, and appears to be holding.

I sanded the parking brake pad/shoe, and lubed the inner workings on both sides with liquid Teflon that dries..  So hopefully..!
