Q: How to replace the wheel cylinder on Chevrolet Cobalt?
A: The procedure starts by raising the vehicle and supporting it while you remove the tire along with the wheel assembly and Brake Drum. Begin by cleaning the Wheel Cylinder area before removing the bleeder cap and valve while disconnecting the brake pipe fitting from the Wheel Cylinder and applying a cap to the exposed brake pipe end to avert fluid loss and contamination. The next step involves removing all Wheel Cylinder mounting bolts. The j 38400 (Brake Shoe Spanner and Spring Remover) tool allows technicians to spread the brake shoes and extract the Wheel Cylinder from the Brake Backing Plate. To install a new Wheel Cylinder fit it to the Brake Backing Plate by using the j 38400 (Brake Shoe Spanner and Spring Remover) to spread apart the top brake shoes once again. Screw in the Wheel Cylinder mounting bolts and follow up with a torque of 16 nm (12 lb ft). Approach the brake pipe end with caution then install the fitting and torque it to 19 nm (14 lb ft). Tighten the Wheel Cylinder bleeder valve to 8 nm (71 lb in) torque. Install the Brake Drum before completing the bleeding of the hydraulic brake system along with installing the bleeder valve cap. Drum brake adjustment should follow before you install the tire-wheel combination and lower the vehicle.
Q: How to properly service and replace a wheel cylinder on Chevrolet Colorado?
A: Start the Wheel Cylinder replacement by raising the vehicle and taking out the rear brake shoes. When removing a Wheel Cylinder to avoid brake damage plug the Brake Line before disconnecting it. Remove all mounting bolts on the Wheel Cylinder then detach the unit from the backing plate. Join the new Wheel Cylinder onto the backing plate and fasten it with the mounting bolts before applying 18 n.m (13 lb ft) of torque. Insert the Brake Line into the Wheel Cylinder and fasten it with a 19 n.m torque setting (14 lb ft). Replace the parts then install the new brake shoes while using proper bleeding methods for the brake system before testing the fluid level in the brake master cylinder.
Q: How to replace the wheel cylinder on Chevrolet Malibu?
A: Before replacing the Wheel Cylinder you need to raise the vehicle and position support stands under it. Take off the tire and wheel unit first and then take off the Brake Drum. Take out dirt and contamination from the area surrounding the brake hose banjo bolt and Wheel Cylinder link. Place the lower Control Arm assembly over a jack stand to protect it during this work. You can replace the Wheel Cylinder when you remove both the upper Control Arm Bolt and wheel speed sensor connector while positioning abs-equipped systems away from the brake hose. To avoid contamination you must cap the exposed brake hose after removing its banjo bolt and gaskets made from copper. Detach the Wheel Cylinder mounting screws from each end of the Wheel Cylinder. The j 38400 Brake Shoe spanner and spring remover tool allows you to open the brake shoes while you remove the Wheel Cylinder from its position on the Brake Backing Plate. Position the brake Wheel Cylinder on the backing plate using j38400 and tighten the two mounting bolts to 10 nm. Install new copper brake hose gaskets along the banjo bolt and Wheel Cylinder then thread the banjo bolt onto the brake hose end and tighten it to 37 ft. Lbs of torque. When abs exists on the vehicle, join the wheel speed sensor port. Then add the upper Control Arm Bolt and nut before torquing the nut to 180 nm (133 foot pounds). Put in the Brake Drum then take the jack stand off from the lower Control Arm assembly while also performing brake fluid bleeding and putting on the wheel and tire assembly before lowering the vehicle and testing the rear alignment.
