How to replace brake calipers on Chevrolet Metro?

The first step to replace the brake caliper is to drain two-thirds of the master cylinder fluid. Before beginning work apply supports to lift the vehicle up and then take out the tire and wheel set. First disconnect the brake hose union bolt by placing a receptacle under it to collect fluid and discard the union fitting washers. Take out the two mounting bolts from the caliper and pull the device off its carrier. First release brake caliper pins and check the bolt condition plus all other brake parts including pads and boots for damage. Replace parts when required. Apply silicone grease to the caliper pins then put on the boots before inserting them into the caliper carrier location. Place the caliper on its carrier and connect it with two mounting bolts before tightening them to 30 nm (22 ft. Lbs.). Put on new washers with the brake hose union bolt before bolting it tight to 23 nm (17 ft. Lbs.). Place the tire and wheel assembly back on and then lift the vehicle. Refill the master cylinder with brake fluid, vent the brake system before restarting the car, and conclude by identifying any fluid loss.

Brake Caliperss in the Chevrolet Metro is very important for the braking mechanism because it converts hydraulic pressure from master cylinder to mechanical force. This force is imperative as it helps to apply pressure to the brake pads against the rotors and thus slowing or coming to a standstill of the vehicle. Chevrolet Metro models utilize two primary types of brake calipers: These are fixed and fixed course and floating or recognized course. In fixed calipers, there are several pistons on the each side of the rotor to apply pressure and in the floating calipers, there is only one piston on one side which slides to apply pressure, here we may find some problems are the wear of pads is not equal etc. In the past, many designs have been used in the Metro, especially performance-oriented calipers that increase stopping force and bling. Standard calipers are usually constructed from cast iron and the pistons used are usually from steel or phenolic materials. One reason for the use of performance calipers includes a better wear and heat characteristic as well as the ability to meet different driving requirements and desires of the driver.
