2009 Cadillac SRX Brake Disc Parts and Q&A

• Q: How to replace the rear brake disc on 2009 Cadillac SRX?

  A: Start by releasing the parking brake and raising the car for safety before working on the replacement. Position the brake caliper out of the way using heavy mechanic wire to protect against excessive force on the flexible brake hose. Disconnect the brake caliper along with its bracket from the suspension knuckle while keeping the hose free of tension. Note the disc position next to the wheel studs and remove the mounting screw with light force to gently pull the disc loose by rotating it. When removing the tough disc apply the j-46277 (Disc Removal Tool) coupled with the j 2619-01 (Slide Hammer with Adapter) to make the task easier. Check all parts of the parking brake system for damage and replace any failing elements. Before fitting the new disc you should employ the j 42450-a kit to clean residue from wheel flange and disc mating surfaces. Install the new disc by placing the matchmark correctly then fasten it with 14 nm Brake Disc screw torque (124 lb in). Test the disc movement in every direction to check brake efficiency. Replace the disc if its lro value surpasses the specified amount. Install the brake caliper and bracket with suspension knuckle to their positions while placing the tire wheel assembly back in place then lower the vehicle and perform disc pad burnishing procedures when needed.
