Installation Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Chevrolet Caprice. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
Whenever the brake rotor has been separated from the hub/axle flange, any rust or contaminants should be cleaned from the hub/axle flange and the brake rotor mating surfaces. Failure to do this may result in excessive assembled lateral runout (LRO) of the brake rotor, which could lead to brake pulsation.
- Using the J-42450-A Wheel Hub Resurfacing Kit, thoroughly clean any rust or corrosion from the mating surface of the hub/axle flange.
- Using the J-41013 Rotor Resurfacing Kit, thoroughly clean any rust or corrosion from the mating surface and mounting surface of the brake rotor.
- Inspect the mating surfaces of the hub/axle flange and the rotor to ensure there are no foreign particles or debris remaining.
- Install the disc brake rotor (1).
- Install the disc brake caliper and bracket assembly.
- Install 2 new disc brake caliper bracket bolts (1) and tighten to 60 N.m (44 lb ft) + 90 degrees.
- Install the tire and wheel assembly. Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation .
- If the brake rotor was refinished or replaced, or if new brake pads were installed, burnish the pads and rotors. Refer to Brake Pad and Rotor Burnishing .
NOTE:
Install new disc brake caliper bracket bolts any time the bolts are removed.
