Front Calipers: Reassembly

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Pontiac Firebird and 2002 Chevrolet Camaro. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
  1. Install the brake caliper bleeder valve. See Figure . Tighten the brake caliper bleeder valve to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS  . Install the brake caliper bleeder valve cap.
  2. Lubricate the new piston seals with Delco Supreme 11(R) GM P/N 12377967 (Canada P/N 992667) or equivalent, DOT-3 brake fluid from a clean, sealed brake fluid container. Install new seals into the brake caliper bore seal grooves. See Figure . Make sure the seals are not twisted. Lubricate the brake caliper bores and the pistons with brake fluid.
  3. Install the boot and piston. Install the boot over the end of the piston so that the fold will face toward the brake caliper housing piston bore opening. Seat the boot into the brake caliper bore groove and slide the piston into the brake caliper bore.
  4. Push down the piston to the bottom of the brake caliper bore. Make sure the boot is properly seated into the piston groove and into the groove in the brake caliper bore.
  5. Repeat steps  5 and  6 for the remaining piston. Install the brake caliper to the vehicle. See FRONT BRAKE CALIPER  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION.
