My chevy is a Class C Moter home. I have seen it referred to as a Light Truck under carriage, and sometimes referred to as a Sports Van.
My problem is the front wheels lockup. I removed the right front wheel and the rotors show wear (groves).
I am not sure how to release the pads or remove the rotor to replace it. I would also like to inspect the bearings and repack them. Can anyone direct me to some online sources for information.
Thanks
Joe

The brakes are held on with two allen head bolts and should be fairly easy to remove.Is the van all wheel drive?
