2000 Chevrolet Tracker Brake Disc Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: When Should Brake Disc Refinishing Be Performed and What Tools Are Needed on 2000 Chevrolet Tracker?

  A: Professionals should perform brake rotor refinishing work only when rotor braking surface shows severe scoring or the brake produces pulsations from excessive lateral movement or thickness differences or the rotor surface has deep corrosion. The tools necessary to complete this service are the Hub Cleaning Kit (J 42450-A) and the Rotor Resurfacing Kit (J 41013). Start refinishing procedures using the Hub Cleaning Kit (J 42450-A) to clean the rotor and flange interface surface for both safety purposes and prevention of lateral runout and brake pulsation. You must use a micrometer to find the thinnest rotor section because replacing the part becomes necessary when the measurement reaches above the minimum specification. You should eliminate rust from the brake rotor flange by using a suitable cleaning tool which can be the J 41073. The brake rotor refinement must follow lathe manufacturer guidelines to deliver optimal surface finish quality which protects overall brake performance. After machining the part needs a 120-grit aluminum oxide sandpaper to generate a non-directional brake surface along with any available non-directional rotor finisher. The last step involves cleaning the braking surfaces with GM P/N 12377981 or its equivalent brake parts cleaner then tightening the wheel nuts to the correct torque standard for preventing brake pulsation and rotor damage.
