• Q: How to Replace the Brake Disc on 2001 GMC Savana 1500?

  A: To replace the Brake Disc, first lift and adequately support the vehicle. Take off the tire and wheel assembly by making sure you support the brake caliper with heavy mechanic's wire or equivalent if you pull it away from its mount while covering its hydraulic flexible brake hose as this helps to prevent damaging hose and brake fluid leakage. Then, take away the caliper from the mounting bracket again cushion with the heavy mechanic's wire; bear it in mind that when taking off the caliper from the bracket, do not cut off the hydraulic brake flexible hose. Move on to the removal of the wheel bearings and then the disc from the vehicle. If necessary, refinish the disc. Clean off any rust or corrosion at the disc to wheel mating face using the hub cleaning kit (J 42450-A) prior to reinstalling the disc onto the vehicle. Once the wheel bearings and seal are installed in place, it is suitable to install the brake caliper followed by the placement of the tire and assembly if it hasn't been done. Lastly, eliminate the safety stands, decrease the vehicle down, step the brake pedal down, and machine the brake discs and the brake pads at the front side.
