2006 Chevrolet Corvette Brake Caliper Bracket Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the front brake caliper bracket on 2006 Chevrolet Corvette?

  A: To shield the brake caliper during replacement you should hold it secure with heavy mechanics wire to keep the hydraulic brake hose safe. Easily disassemble the caliper from its mounting bracket keeping the hydraulic hose intact. This action leads to Brake Pad and Brake Pad retainer removal from the Brake Caliper Bracket. During replacement you must discard the old brake caliper mounting bracket bolts because these must never be used again. Remove the bolts and washers in addition to removing the brake caliper mounting bracket from the knuckle. Check the Brake Caliper Bracket quality by looking for cracks and replacement if needed. Also scrap off any old adhesive from the joint points. Put new brake caliper mounting bracket onto the knuckle using two bolts with washers that have threaded adhesive but only tighten them to 175 nm (125 ft. Lbs.). Before installing the brake caliper use high temperature silicone lubricant on its bolts. Add Brake Pad retainers and pads to the caliper bracket before installing the caliper onto its location.
