#46 of 75 Rotor replacement by jlflemmons Oct 16, 2007 (8:03 pm)
Haven't got the vehicle here to look at right now, but wondering about front rotor replacement on a '99 2wd. Is the rotor pressed onto the hub, or is it easy to get the rotor off the hub?   Thanks,   Jim Replies to this message: jlflemmons (Oct 20, 2007 5:05 pm)

Replying to: jlflemmons (Oct 16, 2007 8:03 pm) Figured it out. Was a very simple design, though not one I had seen before. The bearings and spindle are one unit, and the rotor simply slips on over the lugs like a FWD car.   Now, getting it off of an 8 year old car took some 8lb persuasion, but still a simple repair.

My husband replaced the rear brake pads, rotors, and calipers. We have bled the brakes (all four wheels a couple of time), but brake petal is still spongy. Any ideas on what else to check? Thanks!
#50 of 75 Rear Brake Problem with 2000 Blazer by sands53042 Feb 19, 2008 (4:12 pm)
I have a 2000 4X4 Blazer with rear brake problems. For some reason, the rear brakes aren't grabbing. There's no air in the lines. I've bled the brakes a few times to try to fix the problem, so I know that's okay. After I bleed them, they will work for a day or two, but then quit working for no reason. There are no leaks that I can find, and there's plenty of brake fluid. Can anyone give me an idea of where to start to try to fix this problem?
#52 of 75 where the heck did the brake fluid go to??? by dan134 Apr 21, 2008 (8:16 pm)

Replying to: dan134 (Apr 21, 2008 8:16 pm) Sometimes vacuum from a defective power brake booster can suck it out and burn it in the engine. Otherwise you might have to test the system with a power bleeder. You might also look for brake fluid leaking under the dash, under the carpeting, by the brake pedal.

Replying to: dan134 (Apr 21, 2008 8:16 pm) Have you already pulled the calipers and checked for a leak there?
#55 of 75 ABS system on 97 Blazer by booog May 22, 2008 (11:58 am)
At times my ABS kicks in when it's not needed, no slipping and low speed. Brought it to a mechanic who quoted $1090 to replace the Wheel Speed Sensor and EBCM. Not sure this car is even worth $1k anymore. I've disconnected the ABS system and it's not happening anymore. Is it all right to drive with the ABS disconnected? Or is there a less expensive solution?
