Where are the brake pads located on a 2002 GMC Yukon XL?

On a 2002 GMC Yukon XL, the brake pads are located within the brake calipers, which are mounted on the brake rotors at each wheel. To access the brake pads, you'll need to remove the wheel and then detach the caliper from its bracket. The pads sit on either side of the rotor, pressing against it to create friction when the brakes are applied.
