• Q: How to replace the Brake Calipers on 2010 Chevrolet Aveo?

  A: Replacing a brake caliper requires a procedure that starts with lifting and supporting the vehicle. Mark the wheel front position then separate the vehicle wheels from the hubs. The procedure begins with removing the fitting and washers that secure the caliper to the brake hose and following with a brake hose disconnection before plugging both caliper openings and brake hose ports to stop fluid leakage and contaminant entry. You need to start by removing the Steering Knuckle mounting bolts and removing the entire caliper assembly. Use silicone brake lubricant gm p/n 89021536 (AC Delco P/N 89021537, Canadian P/N 89021538) or equivalent for lubricating the slide pins. Fill in the caliper assembly by tightening its mounting bolts to 95 nm (70 lb ft). Fasten the brake hose to the caliper while using washers and brake hose inlet fitting then tighten it to 40 nm (30 lb ft). It is unsafe to drive the vehicle until a stable and firm brake pedal becomes accessible. Keep the vehicle in its lowered position after installing the front wheels. Use the brake pedal to move gradually while the engine is off to sequence caliper piston and pad movement before performing a brake system bleed.
