2006 Chevrolet Colorado Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to Service and Repair the Brake Disc Using the CH-47661 On-Brake Lathe on 2006 Chevrolet Colorado?

  A: You should use the CH-47661 On-Vehicle Brake Lathe to refinish brake discs when any of the following conditions exist: excessive groove depth, severe disc surface scoring, or brake pulse issues resulting from lateral runout and thickness variation and surface corrosion. Start by using a micrometer to determine the narrowest section of the brake disc. Replacement of the brake disc is necessary when its current thickness exceeds the established minimum standard. Before finishing the disc with the lathe make sure to create a non-directional surface by using 120 grit aluminum oxide sandpaper together with a non-directional finisher when available. To finish the process clean the braking areas with GM P/N 12377981 (Canadian P/N 10953463) brake parts cleaner or any equivalent product.
