2004 Cadillac DeVille Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the rear brake disc (J55) on 2004 Cadillac DeVille?

  A: You must release the park brake and lift your vehicle before starting the process to change j55 rear Brake Disc. Place the c-clamp (J 41013) over the brake caliper body with its ends pressing against the back of the caliper and the disc Brake Pad. Afterward, install the clamp to push the piston in the caliper bore. Position the c-clamp over the piston to press it into the caliper bore slightly and allow you to slide the caliper off the disc before removing the c-clamp. Use heavy mechanic's wire hooks or similar support materials to prevent damaging the flexible brake hose during the brake caliper service. After that detach the brake caliper and bracket from the car while using proper supports to keep the caliper assembly away from the floor. Separate the disc from its hub connection as you pull it out from the hub and bearing components. Before installing the wheel components clean the wheel hub flange surface and Brake Disc contact areas using the wheel hub resurfacing kit j 42450-a and disc resurfacing kit j 41013. Check both brake surface parts for dirt before attaching the Brake Disc properly to the hub/axle using the previous alignment mark. When a Brake Disc was replaced during repair take measurements of the lateral runout setup to validate proper brake system working; normalize runout if measurements surpass technical requirements. After installing the Brake Caliper Bracket we need to put the wheel and tire on. This completes the procedure except for disc and pad burnishing when wheel replacement included disc servicing.
