2005 Chevrolet Cavalier Brake Disc Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the Brake Disc using the J 41013 and J 42450-A kits on 2005 Chevrolet Cavalier?

  A: You can use the J 41013 Disc Resurfacing Kit and J 42450-A Wheel Hub Resurfacing Kit to repair the brake disc. First clean rust from the hub/axle flange using J 42450-A then wash the disc mating surfaces with J 41013 as preparation. Look at the same area on both parts to verify that no dirt or other materials block their connection. Install the brake disc onto the brake lathe as per the manufacturer guidelines while keeping all tools clean. Install vibration isolation parts securely and start the brake lathe tools toward the disc until they touch its surface. The disc is permanently attached when you see three-quarters or more of the witness mark on its surface. If not, re-mount the disc. Use the lathe kit manual steps to sand the disc surface and track the material removal at each pass. When refinishing finishes the disc either does not reach or goes beyond specified thickness standards so it needs replacement. Following the recommended speed setting helps deliver a non-directional disc coating through 120 grit sandpaper on non-directional finishing tools or by utilizing 150 grit sandpaper and sanding block. Clean all touched components using denatured alcohol or an approved brake cleaner after you apply the finishing product. Move the processed brake disc off the lathe to measure its LRO assembly. Make changes if needed to maintain good disc brake performance when the measurement is beyond acceptable ranges.
