2006 Cadillac SRX Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the front brake caliper bracket on 2006 Cadillac SRX?

  A: Before handling the vehicle start with a reliable pressing of the brake pedal to guarantee safety for yourself. Secure the brake caliper with mechanic's wire after you detach it from the top support. Unbolt the brake pads when removing them and the Brake Pad retainers next from the Brake Caliper Bracket before you detach the brake caliper guide pins and brake caliper pin boots from the mounted Brake Caliper Bracket. Check the Brake Caliper Bracket parts for damage before disconnecting and removing them from the knuckle. To install the new Brake Caliper Bracket on the knuckle you must prime the threads of reused caliper bracket bolts first and then apply threadlocker gm p/n 12345493 (Canada P/N 10953488) to two parts of the bottom bolt. After ten-minute cure time install and torque the two Brake Caliper Bracket bolts to 130 nm (96 ft. Lbs). Put the caliper guide pin boots entirely in their slots before installing the guide pins to check if they are located properly. Insert the Brake Pad retainers and brake pads to the Brake Caliper Bracket. Next put on the brake caliper onto the front Brake Caliper Bracket.
