In this video I show how I removed and replaced rear brake pads, rotors, and caliper hardware and caliper mounts on my 2018 Chevy Colorado Z71 4WD with the 3.6L. This is a detailed video on the steps I took and how I resolved any issues I ran into. I also briefly go over how to remove the caliper itself.
I assume this method would be the same for all 2nd gen (2015-2022) Colorados, GMC Canyons, and even many rear-wheel-drive vehicles, assuming differing clearances and socket sizes. Verify application for your vehicle.
