SOURCE: how to change transmission fluid in z71 silverado

may i ask why you need to already change the fluid, unless you have burned fluid normally its good for 90,000 mi,otherwise if so, the drain plug is directly behind the bell housing of the engine/tranny and the filter is right there too under the access panel the drain plug is on

This is for the front: Removal & Installation

1. Remove 2/3 of the brake fluid from the master cylinder.
   
2. Remove or disconnect the following:
   
   • Wheel
     
   • Caliper. Suspend the caliper from the frame with mechanic's wire. Do not allow the caliper to hang from the brake hose.
     
   • Caliper mounting bracket bolts
     
   • Caliper mounting bracket from the steering knuckle assembly
     
   • Brake pads from the caliper mounting bracket
     
   • Clips from the inside ends of the caliper mounting bracket and discard
     

1. Install or connect the following:
   
   • Clips to the inside ends of the caliper mounting bracket
     
   • Brake pads to the caliper mounting bracket
     
   • Inner pad (1 wear indicator)
     
   • Outer pad (2 wear indicators)
     
   • Caliper mounting bracket to the steering knuckle assembly
     
2. Perform the following procedure before installing the caliper mounting bracket bolts:
   
   • Remove all traces of the original adhesive patch.
     
   • Clean the threads of the bolt with brake parts cleaner or the equivalent and allow to dry.
     
   • Apply red Loctite®272 to the threads of the bolt.
     
3. Install or connect the following:
   
   • Caliper mounting bracket bolts to the steering knuckle. Tighten the caliper guide pin bolts to 74 ft. lbs. (100 Nm) on 15 series or 80 ft. lbs. (108 Nm) on 25/35 series.
     
   • Caliper
     
   • Tire and wheel assembly
     
4. Refill the master cylinder to the proper level with fresh brake fluid. Pump the brake pedal slowly and firmly in order to seat the brake pads. Burnish the brakes as needed.
