How to replace the front brake disc (J55) on Cadillac DeVille?

In order to change the front Brake Disc (J55), one should remove the tire, and wheel assembly first. Then, disconnect the brake caliper assembly, and the Brake Disc should be removed next. If you are installing a new disc, it is important to clean off any rust or contaminants from the wheel bearing flange and the Brake Disc mated surfaces in order to minimize lateral runout and brake pulsation. Following the cleanup and mounting the disc onto the wheel studs on the wheel bearing flange, return the brake caliper assembly. Finally, keep reinstalling the tire and wheel assembly.

Is Refinishing Front Brake Discs Necessary Only for Brake Pulsation Complaints or Scoring Over 1.5 mm on Cadillac DeVille?

The process of brake rotor refinishing requires execution only if you detect brake pulsation or the scoring level surpasses 1.5 mm (0.060 inch). The cast minimum thickness specification on each rotor serves only to show maximum wear limitations while not specifying the allowable refinish dimensions making new rotor replacement necessary for parts that do not meet specifications after refinishing. Effectively managing rotor tolerance remains critical for achieving optimal brake performance so it needs to be processed on precise maintenance-ready equipment which follows the manufacturer's recommended maintenance procedures. Follow equipment manufacturer instructions for rotor refinishing while checking that attaching adapters and tool holders as well as vibration dampeners and tool bits are in good repair status. The use of manufacturer-recommended new cutting tools is necessary since worn or dull tools create uneven surfaces which reduce brake performance. Vibration dampening adapters become essential when refinishing because they suppress tool vibration while producing quality finished surfaces which necessitates that adapters show no signs of wear or damage.

Cadillac DeVille Brake Disc is a part of disc brake system which principal function is to provide required friction to provide motion stopping moment. Located also on the wheel hub, the Brake Disc together with brake pads and caliper apply pressure to the disc by using hydraulic pressure to squeeze the caliper and its pads on the disc until the vehicle motion is stopped. Cadillac has used different styles of brake disc in the DeVille model over the years; there has been an instance of using solid and vented rotors. Heavy-duty vented rotors with cooling fins are superior to sold rotors commonly seen in economy or non-high I/O models. Besides, drilled or slotted discs enhance the performance because of their heat and sound reducing characteristic but are associated with shorter pad life. It is therefore important to give the Brake Disc a regular maintenance and service to avoid a complete disastrous scene on Cadillac DeVille cars.
