I just changed my brake padsa week before Christmas and they are fine it just when I put thetruck into reverse when I have the problems.
Has anyone had problems stating their truck in the morning? Cause when I go to start it it doesnt want to start so I turn the key and wants to turn so I shut it off and turn the key again and it fires right away I havent had this problem since after I changed the brakes.

2007 Ava 4x4 changing front rotors by gar6

I have been having brake problems on my 2007 avalanche 4x4, In an attempt to change the rotors I could not get the calaper bracket removed. The bolts seemed to be almost welded, I broke a braker bar and socket trying to remove this. Is there something special about the Avalanche and changing the rotors. Please help

Avalanche brakes are no different in conceptual design than any other rotor setup. Remove caliper, lift away, remove rotor.
 
The bolts may be tight or a bit rusted. May have used loc-tite on the original bolts at the factory.

Um, the wrench itself is not a specific size. you use sockets, just like you do for any other socket set. A standard socket set SHOULD have the size you need. I don't think it is an overly large one. I was to say about 17mm - assuming you're talking about the bolts for the calipers vs the caliper mount bracket.
