Removal (Rear - 4-Wheel Steering)

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2002 GMC Yukon XL, 2002 GMC Yukon, 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2002 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Release the park brake.
  2. Raise and support the vehicle.
  3. Remove the tire and wheel assembly.
  4. Remove the nut and the bolt from the quarter shaft shield. See Figure.
  5. Remove the shield.
  6. Remove the 2 brake caliper bracket mounting bolts. See Figure.
  7. Mark the relationship of the rotor to the hub.
    CAUTION: Support the brake caliper with heavy mechanic's wire, or equivalent, whenever it is separated from its mount and the hydraulic flexible brake hose is still connected. Failure to support the caliper in this manner will cause the flexible brake hose to bear the weight of the caliper, which may cause damage to the brake hose and in turn may cause a brake fluid leak.
  8. Remove the brake caliper and brake caliper mounting bracket as an assembly and support with heavy mechanic's wire or equivalent. Do not disconnect the hydraulic brake flexible hose from the caliper.
  9. Remove the rotor retaining push nuts from the wheel studs, if applicable.
  10. It may be necessary to strike the end of the hub or the rotor with a deadblow hammer to separate the rotor from the hub.
  11. Remove the rotor by slowly turning the rotor while pulling the rotor away from the axle. See Figure.
