2007 Chevrolet Impala Brake Disc Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: What Tools Are Required to Service and Repair the Brake Disc, and What Steps Should Be Followed to Ensure Proper Refinishing on 2007 Chevrolet Impala?

  A: A mechanic requires j 41013 disc resurfacing kit (J 41013) and j 42450-a Wheel Hub resurfacing kit (J 42450-A) to fix and maintain the Brake Disc system. Make sure the disc has enough material before you begin restorage work. You need to refinish the Brake Disc only when thickness varies outside official standards, when there is severe corrosion that exceeds acceptable levels, when you detect cracks or heat spots, when discoloration gets too intense or when the scoring depth reaches unacceptable limits. Apply this technique when working with cross-drilled discs by using a lathe equipped with vibration protection and positive rake tools. Scrub off any rust and dirt from hub and axle flange as well as Brake Disc surfaces using item j 42450-a before treating the Brake Disc with item j 41013. Check the connection area of brake parts for foreign matter before you attach the disc to the brake lathe system. As you activate the lathe machine let cutting tools touch the disc contact points while checking the mark to verify correct attachment. Fasten the disc properly and complete the lathe processing per manufacturer standards. Check the disc thickness before each sanding cycle. When discs return to their original extent they need to be replaced during after-refinishing checks. To get a non-directional surface set the lathe per the manufacturer directions and use 120-grit aluminum oxide sandpaper with the tool when available. Alternatively, use 150-grit aluminum oxide sandpaper on a sanding block and follow the lathe settings. After readying the brake surfaces use denatured alcohol or brake cleaner before taking disc measurements to determine cap performance and correct them when exceeding standards.
