More then likely its time to change the brake pads and rotors .How dose the pedal feel and do you feel a pull to one side or the other. It could also be a loose wheel bearing or ever a peice of debrire lodged in one of the calipars. But most likely in the front brakes they do 70 % of the stopping
jack up frt end. remove wheels. take note of how the brakes go together. do 1 side at a time so you can use the other side as a referance. remove caliper bolts. use a c-clamp to push in caliper pistons. remove old pads. than remove caliper bracket and rotors.dont be afraid its not a big deal. make sure to check brake fluid level and pump the pedal when the job is completed.
you will need a C clamp a 12" pry bar a hammer + a male hex socket
or allen wrench if memory servs 5/16 3/8 or 10mm
I don't know how your C clamp is compress the calipar piston this way
remove the 2 female hex bolts at the top + bottom of the calipar by
inserting the proper allen wrench + give it a tap c clockwise remove bolts take pry bar + pry back at top of cal. wiggle it free + remove
outer pad place c clamp top to back of cal. DO NOT TOUCH BRAKE
HOSE BOLT OR FITTING screw end of clamp to inner pad + turn until
cal. piston is compressed remove inner pad save retaining clip if not
provided id new inner + outer pads put retaining clip on inside pad coat
contact points on back of pads with hi temp silicone + reverse procedure
This is just like any other vehicle to change out the caliper. Almost all brakes are the same when it comes down to it. The only difference is the way certain companies either install them or the way they work. But on the Blazer it is really simple and can be done by just taking your time and doing it like you have done before
The brake hose maybe bad replace it. They can claps on then self inside the hose. One work to check is have someone push the brake paddle down and release it if the rotor is hard to turn, open the bleeder vale if fluid comes out and the rotor turns freely that you problem.
