Front Brake Rotor: Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Whenever brake rotor has been separated from the hub/axle flange, any rust or contaminants should be cleaned from hub/axle flange and brake rotor mating surfaces.
  1. Install brake rotor to hub/axle flange. Align match mark for proper orientation to flange. If brake rotor was removed and installed as part of a brake system repair, measure the assembled lateral runout of brake rotor to ensure optimum performance of the disc brakes. Adjust as necessary.
  2. Install brake caliper and brake caliper bracket as an assembly to steering knuckle. Install wheels. Tighten wheel lug nuts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS  . Lower vehicle. If brake rotor was refinished or replaced, or if new brake pads were installed, burnish the pads and rotors.
  3. To burnish pads and rotors, accelerate vehicle to 30 MPH. Using moderate to firm pressure, apply brakes to bring vehicle to a stop. DO NOT allow brakes to lock. Repeat about 20 stops. Allow sufficient cooling periods between stops in order to properly burnish brake pads and rotor.
