It's not the C-10s that are a problem... it's the 20s and up with the floating axles.

this is one time when it's acceptable to spell brakes/brakes.

This one is a k10, ive done brakes on them (properly with new rotors) its a pain in the ass compared to a typical brake job. You do need special tools and to remove lockouts and bearings.

Only in a perfect world

with a 72 C10 you still have to remove bearings and seal, then repack and replace seal. now if you had say, a 98 Lesabre, it would be a different story.

try doing them on a 92 Accord. hehehe

That is why "turnning the rotors in place" was developed in the '80's. The old machines were just nasty! You had to breathe all the metal/pad gindings. YUK! Now they have hoods and vacuum setups that make it better.
