2007 Cadillac SRX Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the rear brake disc on 2007 Cadillac SRX?

  A: Start work by lowering the vehicle and releasing the parking brake before you perform any steps. Set heavy mechanic wire under the brake caliper to keep it steady while you handle the hydraulic flexible brake hose. Remove the brake caliper assembly with the mounting bracket attached while keeping the hydraulic hose free of tension. Set the Brake Disc position beside the wheel studs before taking out the mount screw and pulling it off without force while rotating if needed. Use the indicated tool j-46277 attached to the slide hammer j 2619-01 to extract stubborn brake discs. Look for damage on the park brake system's parts and replace them when necessary. Before adding the new disc you need to clean both wheel hub and disc mating surfaces using j 42450-a wheel hub resurfacing kit and j 41013 rotor resurfacing kit. Make all surfaces clean before using the matchmark on the new Brake Disc to install it while adjusting brake shoe parking clearance if needed. Install the disc by fastening the mounting screw until it achieves 14 n.m (124 lb in) of pressure. Measure the Brake Disc's lateral runout when installed to make sure it operates properly while making adjustments when runout results break factory standards. Reinstall the brake caliper and its bracket before putting back the wheel and tire then placing the car on the ground. Also perform disc and pad burnishing when needed.
