Thank you!! you did a great job of explaining the process, what tools would be needed, and clearly walked through each step. One of the best I've ever seen. I don't say that lightly because having an old 2003 Trailer blazer starting to replace some of the major components. I am sure I will be looking at other videos.

One year later and still is helping save money. Throughout the year I've replaced the break calipers on 3 out of 4 (4th still great shape) bleed properly however I don't really hear that noise or it could be very small. Both the family mechanic who takes care of the parts I'm unable 2 do myself where thinking about replacing the break booster. I would not be surprised if that check valve or the line has a small issue with it. This vid has already saved me a good amount of money whichever the end cause turns into. I don't recall him ever checking the main lines to and from booster. Mainly the break lines.

Great vid! Dude! Excellent description! Thanks for sharing! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

same, was just quoted almost 5000$ in repairs at a local shop, definitely not paying all that for brakes and some suspension components.

Move and disconnect that main wire harness helps and it worth the time

Before you put the master cylinder on you should check the rod clearance to the master cylinder or it could be too long or in to far so that it dosen't keep pressure on the brakes and lock them up

I have that problem with my 2004 blazer, what "Rod" you talking about going to the m. Cylinder

Hey! I have a trailblazer ext lt but I am in Europe. Is there any US shop where I can buy parts? Last week, my break was working perfectly until I washed the chevy with those pressure water machine in the gas station. Since then, my break is spongy and makes that sound in your video. It has good level of liquid and so far, breaks perfectly but with the spongy pedal. So, two question: where can I buy parts and how dangerous is to drive the chevy to the garage where someone can fix it (it is around 40-50 miles) Thanks!

You can drive it to the garage but I wouldn’t drive it too much. I buy my parts online. Walmart.com sells parts, as well as eBay and Amazon. If it’s more complex electronic parts and sensors, don’t waste money on online parts. Those are too intricate to buy cheap Chinese parts.

What is you get air in abs pump area and don't have all the technology stuff to pump it

Thanks for this video! It helped me get er done, but now my brake lights won't turn off, and I'm having trouble finding a solution.

So, what part did you file down? Currently working on my and brake lights are staying on after filing.

@PhillipsVision

I filed the flat part of the shaft where it meets the brake pedal. Some aftermarket boosters are not as precise as the oem part and the excess of metal will cause the pedal to slightly press on the sensor causing the light to stay on

I did exactly 💯 what you did body, now after driving 5 to 10 minutes my brakes get lock 😢, any ideas of what can be the problem

Sounds like it could be the master cylinder

What is link for bleeding the brakes?

? What is that pump thing next to brake pedal

Just changed my calipers and rotors and pads. Having issues with getting fluid to the new front calipers. The tblazer sat for almost a year and a half so i know it needs work but could a bad booster or check valve stop me from bleeding my front calipers properly?

If the brake booster is bad and needs replacing...would you go ahead and replace the master cylinder as well regardless? I got a 2006 tblazer w/50k miles on it. I have no idea what the lifespan of a master cylinder is. But everything on this suv seems to be failing all at once.

If you want to play it safe you can, but I don’t like to replace parts unless needed. I’ve never had one fail before. On average people say last around 100k, yet all my vehicles have well over that and none failed. One car had over 220k with the original.

So confused right now, great tutorial and all, however after replacing my brake booster and master cylinder, bled the brakes twice, I have no brakes when the engine is running! When the car is off I get a pedal as hard as a rock but when the car is on I get nothing, drops right to the floor! Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

It’s possible the master cylinder seals could be bad, or you need to bench bleed it. You may still have air in the lines. Did you bleed them in proper sequence?

It can be done without removing the brake lines from the master cylinder cuz you can get air jn your lines by removing them and then have to deal with bleeding all the lines.
