2007 Chevrolet Corvette Brake Caliper Bracket Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to remove and replace the rear brake caliper bracket on 2007 Chevrolet Corvette?

  A: The rear Brake Caliper Bracket replacement starts with supporting the brake caliper on heavy mechanic's wire or equivalent pieces without disconnecting the brake hose. First separate the brake caliper from the mounting bracket then take out the brake pads from their spot along with Brake Pad retainers that attach to the same bracket. Brake caliper mounting bracket bolts need new replacement due to their single-time-use requirement. Take off the braking bracket when you remove the Brake Caliper Bracket and check the brake mounting hardware, Brake Caliper Bracket, and brake mounting bolt for any faults or cracks and replace the faulty parts as needed. Wipe away the bolt adhesive from both Brake Caliper Bracket and knuckle surfaces before putting on the fresh braking bracket to suspension knuckle. Secure the new washers and bolts onto their targeted positions using 125 pound feet torque force. These parts have preinstalled adhesive that strengthens their threads. You must apply high temperature silicone lubricant to the brake caliper pin bolts before fitting the Brake Pad retainers and brake pads onto the Brake Caliper Bracket, then install the brake caliper.
