2006 Cadillac SRX Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the rear brake disc on 2006 Cadillac SRX?

  A: Secure the vehicle on a lift with no brake in place before you start replacing the rear Brake Disc. Lift the tire from the wheel to support the brake caliper with heavy mechanic wire to shield the fluid tube while servicing the brake. Take the caliper and bracket assembly out together without stressing the hydraulic hose. Take note of how the Brake Disc fits to the wheel studs and remove the mounting screw to let the disc slip off easily. The disc removal tool (J-46277) and slide hammer with adapter (J 2619-01) help remove stuck discs by attaching these tools to the hub assembly. Test the damage on park brake components and replace faulty parts when needed. Wipe off corrosion and dirt from the Wheel Hub opening and Brake Disc through joint areas using the wheel resurfacing kit (J 42450-A) and the disc resurfacing kit (J 41013). Make sure the areas where the disc touches park perfectly for installation. Adjust the brake shoe gap for new discs and match the alignment marks for proper alignment. Fasten the Brake Disc screw and torque it to 14 nm with a torque wrench. Test the runout of the mounted Brake Disc but replace it if necessary. Finish the job by putting back the Brake Caliper Bracket together with the tire wheel assembly and lower the vehicle before finishing the brake pads and discs when needed.
