• Q: How to replace a Brake Disc on 2006 Chevrolet Colorado?

  A: Brake linings should never be ground during disc replacement while brake parts must be cleaned with water to protect against asbestos dust dispersion. Apply a wet cloth to collect dust from brake components. Keep brake fluid away from painted parts and electrical pieces because it can harm them. Clean up any leakage with water before using a new cloth. First check brake fluid level in brake master cylinder reservoir and use proper tool to drain excess fluid if fluid level sits above the halfway line between maximum and minimum points. Put wood blocks below the Wheel Hub/Brake Disc assembly then take out the hub/speed sensor unit. Pull off the bolts that hold the Brake Disc to the wheel bearing/hub assembly and lift up the disc. Clean the surfaces between hub components before starting the work. Clear all rust present by cleaning both sides of the hub flange and disc before reinstalling the wheel bearing and Brake Disc unit. Set the wheel bearing/hub on the Brake Disc through the proper fasteners at their designated spots and abstain from applying paints or lubricants to the fasteners. Fit the wheel bearing/hub mounting bolts in crosswise order and tighten them to 20 nm (15 ft. Lbs.) then to 110 nm (81 ft. Lbs.). Replace the Wheel Hub assembly into the steering knuckle while lowering the car. Then check brake fluid levels before completing the job by braking on a smooth surface.
