• Q: How to replace the front brake caliper bracket on 2007 Cadillac SRX?

  A: The Brake Caliper Bracket swap requires first obtaining a solid brake pedal pressure while moving the vehicle to stop risks of injury. First remove the brake caliper from its bracket then support it with heavy mechanic's wire to safeguard the hydraulic flexible brake hose while it sits exposed. Manual removal of the brake pads and Brake Pad retainers occurs first on the Brake Caliper Bracket before moving on to extract the brake caliper guide pins with their respective brake caliper pin boots from the brake caliper mounting bracket . You need to extract the Brake Caliper Bracket mounting bolts before you detach the Brake Caliper Bracket from the knuckle. Careful inspection for damage should be done so you can replace it if needed. Clean both caliper bracket bolt threads and knuckle mounting holes before applying threadlocker gm p/n 12345493 (Canada P/N 10953488) to 2/3 of the lower caliper bracket bolt threads until the threadlocker cures for about 10 minutes. The two Brake Caliper Bracket bolts require torqueing to 130 n.m (96 lb ft) after installation. Before installation, make sure the caliper guide pin boots sit properly within their designated retaining seats on the caliper mounting bracket. Then install the caliper guide pins into the bracket making sure each pin seats correctly. Using a large screwdriver pull the caliper guide pin while verifying its full seating point. Finish by attaching the Brake Pad retainers and brake pads to the Brake Caliper Bracket. The last step is to mount the brake caliper onto the front Brake Caliper Bracket.
