• Q: How to replace the rear brake caliper bracket on 2007 Buick Terraza?

  A: You must support the brake caliper through the use of heavy mechanics wire or equivalent tool which must stay connected to the hydraulic flexible brake hose while preventing the hose from damage and potential brake fluid leaks. The first step includes taking away the brake caliper from the mounting bracket keeping the hydraulic hose connected before proceeding to detach brake pads from the Brake Caliper Bracket and Brake Pad retainers from the same bracket. Reprieve the bracket bolts followed by removal of the rear read caliper bracket. First remove all rust and debris from the Brake Caliper Bracket using a wire brush then examine both the brake mounting components and hardware. Clean the caliper bracket bolts and threaded holes with denatured alcohol before installation while allowing enough drying time before proceeding. For caliper bracket bolt reuse apply gm p/n 12345493 threadlocker (Canadian P/N 10953488) over 2/3 of its threaded length making sure threadlocker does not leak through. Wait until the threadlocker cures for ten minutes before installing and securing the Brake Caliper Bracket with bolts achieving a torque level of 130 n.m (96 lb ft). After applying high-temperature silicone lube on the brake caliper pin bolts, install Brake Pad retainers and brake pads to the Brake Caliper Bracket before mounting the brake caliper.
