• Q: How to replace brake calipers on 2002 Chevrolet Tracker?

  A: Avoid grinding or sanding brake linings and do not clean wheel brake parts with a dry brush or compressed air because asbestos fibers are in some models and they can disperse into the air. Wash all brake parts with a water-dampened cloth. Incorporate brake fluid cautiously because they can irritate eyes and skin. Rinsing eyes with water and washing skin with soap and water if touched, as well as consulting a physician after ingesting it. Preserve electrical connections and painted surfaces from spray combinations by using shop cloths and bags. Start by draining out two-thirds of the brake fluid from the master cylinder reservoir using a siphon. Lift and support the vehicle and then tire and wheel assembly off. Cover the brake hose with a container to collect any brake fluid that fires during the removal, discard the fitment from the front brake hose and the 2 washers in the caliper. Next, unbolt the 2 caliper pin bolts and the caliper if off the caliper bracket. For installation, insert the boots into the grooves and then install the caliper onto the caliper bracket and then tighten it with the 2 caliper pin bolts, by which you apply 27 nm (20 ft. Lbs.). Screw the brake hose on to the caliper, screw on the two washers and brake hose fitting, tightening to 23 nm (17 ft. Lbs.). Put back the tire and wheel assembly, put down the vehicle, and top off the master cylinder reservoir. In case any brake component has been replaced or repaired and it has enabled the entry of air into the brake system, then the entire procedure of bleeding is carried out so as to ensure the proper working of the braking process. Finally, bleed the brake system.
