Q: How to Replace the Brake Disc on Chevrolet Colorado?
A: Before starting work raise your vehicle and place supports under it. Take off the tire and wheel unit before disassembling the wheel bearing and hub pieces. Put the Brake Disc assembly onto wooden blocks for safe handling that protects the friction materials. While keeping the assembly supported you should take out the 6 Wheel Hub bolts to split the Wheel Hub from the Brake Disc. Prepare both Wheel Hub and Brake Disc surfaces by scrubbing off all dust and rust particles. Take steps to eliminate dirt and rust before installing the hub/axle flange and disc to stop brake pulsation due to excessive lro buildup. Check if small debris remains in the Brake Disc contact zone. Install the Wheel Hub onto the Brake Disc and fasten it with loose hand tools by tightening all 6 bolts to 120 nm (89 lb ft). Replace the wheel bearing and hub setup then add the tire and wheel unit.
Q: How to replace the front brake disc on Chevrolet Malibu?
A: Start the process by raising and supporting the vehicle from the ground. Take off both the wheel and tire from their position. The c-clamp part j 41013 pushes the caliper piston into its space before you can slide the caliper past the Brake Disc. Remove the c-clamp once done. Secure the brake caliper with heavy mechanic wire or an appropriate alternative to stop hydraulic hose damage. Move together the brake caliper and caliper mounting bracket while disconnecting them from the Steering Knuckle to handle the hydraulic brake flexible hose without stress. Line up the Brake Disc with wheel studs before taking it out from the wheel assembly. Scrub away rust from both hub/axle flange and Brake Disc parts using our wheel hub resurfacing kit (J 42450-A) and rotor resurfacing kit (J 41013). Test the mating surfaces for particles before placing the Brake Disc in the correct hub/axle position by using the matching mark. When you replace a Brake Disc within a brake system maintenance you need to test its assembled lateral runout for proper functioning. When the lro measurement does not meet requirements adjust it to standard levels. Put back the caliper unit with its bracket and attach it to the Steering Knuckle. Though the tire and wheel under it. Slowly let the car down while you may need to smooth the brake pads and disc surfaces at the same time.
Q: How to replace the front brake disc on a 2500 Series on Chevrolet Tahoe?
A: Before the Brake Disc replacement task begins, inspect the brake fluid level in the master cylinder tank and adjust it midway between maximum and acceptable marks. Drain fluid to that level when the fluid sits above mid-mark. Set up the vehicle for service then take off both tire and wheel parts. When reinstalling the original Brake Disc, you must trace its alignment with the hub. Push brake caliper pistons back using 2 strong c-clamps on the caliper body toward the rear Brake Pad until the pistons fully return. Affix heavy mechanic wire to the brake caliper to protect the hydraulic flexible brake hose from getting harmed during handling. Take out all 2 bolts connecting the brake assembly and lift it with wire support to keep it safe. When discs do not separate from the hub, use penetrating oil and 2 m10 x 1.5 bolts at threaded disc holes to press the disc off while cleaning the parts. Before adding a new disc, clean the braking surface areas with denatured alcohol or a brake cleaner suitable alternative while making sure the hub/axle flange remains free of rust and contamination to prevent improper disc alignment. Apply the j-42450-a wheel hub resurfacing kit to prepare the hub flange surface after thoroughly cleaning the part. Check for debris and position the disc perfectly before mounting it. Check the aligned Brake Disc's lateral runout dimension against its production tolerance and restore the measurement to factory levels when needed. Place the brake caliper and bracket parts while cleaning the bolt threads with threadlocker gm p/n 12345493 (Canadian P/N 10953488) before tightening the bolts to 300 nm (221 lb ft) torque. Put back the tire and wheel assembly while letting the vehicle down then press the brake pedal slowly until it reaches 2/3 of its distance before letting go. Perform this procedure until the brake pedal feels strong and top off the master cylinder with fresh brake fluid while cutting Brake Pad and disc surfaces.
