  Q: How to replace the rear brake caliper bracket on Cadillac SRX?

  A:

  Start by raising and holding the vehicle then take off both the tire and wheel assembly. To stop brake pulsation use tools to detach the guide pin bolts but grip the guide pin with an open end wrench so it stays far from the brake caliper. Secure the brake caliper from dropping using mechanic wire or similar tools to protect flexible Brake Lines. Set the brake caliper aside without disconnecting its hose connection then take out the brake caliper. To continue, take out the Brake Pad set and their springs while discarding the replacement springs from the new pad set. Take out bolts from the Brake Caliper Bracket and lift off the bracket. After cleaning bolt threads on the caliper bracket install it first before applying threadlocker to two thirds of each bolt thread length. Soak the sticker with denatured alcohol waits for 10 minutes before installing the Brake Caliper Bracket bolts. Thread in the Brake Caliper Bracket bolts and use 110 nm (81 lb ft) to torque them. Add Brake Pad springs and place the brake pads in their proper positions starting from the outer to the inner pad. Install the brake caliper in its bracket before lightly screwing in its guide pin bolts. Place a back up wrench on the exposed guide pin while tightening the bolts to 60nm (44 lb ft). Reposition the tire and wheel unit after completing all installation steps.

  Q: How to replace the front brake caliper bracket on Cadillac SRX?

  A:

  The Brake Caliper Bracket swap requires first obtaining a solid brake pedal pressure while moving the vehicle to stop risks of injury. First remove the brake caliper from its bracket then support it with heavy mechanic's wire to safeguard the hydraulic flexible brake hose while it sits exposed. Manual removal of the Brake Pads and Brake Pad retainers occurs first on the Brake Caliper Bracket before moving on to extract the brake caliper guide pins with their respective brake caliper pin boots from the brake caliper mounting bracket . You need to extract the Brake Caliper Bracket mounting bolts before you detach the Brake Caliper Bracket from the knuckle. Careful inspection for damage should be done so you can replace it if needed. Clean both caliper bracket bolt threads and knuckle mounting holes before applying threadlocker gm p/n 12345493 (Canada P/N 10953488) to 2/3 of the lower caliper bracket bolt threads until the threadlocker cures for about 10 minutes. The two Brake Caliper Bracket bolts require torqueing to 130 n.m (96 lb ft) after installation. Before installation, make sure the caliper guide pin boots sit properly within their designated retaining seats on the caliper mounting bracket. Then install the caliper guide pins into the bracket making sure each pin seats correctly. Using a large screwdriver pull the caliper guide pin while verifying its full seating point. Finish by attaching the Brake Pad retainers and brake pads to the Brake Caliper Bracket. The last step is to mount the brake caliper onto the front Brake Caliper Bracket.
