• Q: How to replace the front brake disc on 2004 Chevrolet SSR?

  A: Start the disc replacement by getting your j42450-a Wheel Hub cleaning kit plus other tools. First check the brake fluid level in the brake master cylinder reservoir then drain fluid to bring the mark at exactly halfway between top and lowest points. Rise the car and detach the tire wheel assembly. Push the Brake Caliper Piston back with a large c-clamp to install the caliper. Place the clamp over the caliper housing and put it against the rear of the Brake Pad. Keep tightening until the piston moves to the required position. Separate the brake caliper unit by undoing all mounting bolts from the bracket. Use the Wheel Hub cleaning kit j42450 to eliminate rust and debris on the Brake Disc sideline before removing its retaining clips. When keeping the current disc you should note its location on the wheel stud before removing it from the Wheel Hub. Use the Wheel Hub cleaning kit j42450-a to wash the front hub contact surface of the Brake Disc before placing the new disc. Position the wheel stud marks on the new disc correctly before you set the brake caliper assembly onto the Steering Knuckle and fasten everything with the caliper bolt at 150 nm (110 ft. Lbs.). Settle the tire back in its designated spot on the Wheel Hub before reintroducing the brake fluid to its recommended amount and pumping the brake pedal to activate the replacement pads. During this operation a final step is to prepare the new disc surface.
