2008 Cadillac SRX Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the rear brake disc on 2008 Cadillac SRX?

  A: Before working on the rear Brake Disc you should release the park brake and properly lift the vehicle using ramps. Secure the brake caliper with mechanic wire so the hydraulic brake hose doesn't bear any weight. Pull out the brake caliper and caliper bracket set as one piece before the hydraulic hose experiences stress. Line up the Brake Disc to its corresponding wheel studs and detach the Brake Disc mounting screw. Use the disc removal tool (J-46277) together with the slide hammer with adapter (J 2619-01) to take out the unresponsive disc. Check all park brake components for damage signs and repair affected parts when needed. First remove rust and debris from the hub/axle flange by using wheel hub resurfacing kit (J 42450-A) and disc resurfacing kit (J 41013) before putting on a new Brake Disc. Before installing the Brake Disc apply the necessary cleaning and inspection procedures following the matchmark to set the correct orientation. Fasten the disc to its mounting with a screw that needs to be tightened to 14 n.m (124 lb in). When the brake system needs repair and you take out the disc check the assembled lateral runout measurement to secure proper operation. Adjust the brake system if the lro results fail to meet the required standards. Put back both the brake caliper and its bracket then fasten the tire and wheel parts before lowering the vehicle. Perform necessary pad and disc burnishing when possible.
