Front Brake Rotor: Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Chevrolet Corvette. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
    NOTE: Whenever the rotor has been separated from the wheel bearing flange, clean any rust or contaminants from the wheel bearing flange and the brake rotor mating surfaces. Failure to do this may result in increased lateral runout of the brake rotor, and brake pulsation.
  1. Clean any rust or corrosion from the wheel hub flange.
  2. Clean any rust or corrosion from the mating surface and mounting surface of the brake rotor.
  3. Install the brake rotor over the wheel studs onto the wheel bearing flange using reference mark made upon removal.
  4. Install the brake caliper and the brake caliper bracket as an assembly to the suspension knuckle. Tighten fasteners to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS .
  5. Install the tire and wheel assembly and tighten wheel lug nuts to specification.
  6. Lower the vehicle.
  7. Burnish the brake pads and rotors. While test driving vehicle, perform 20 stops from 30 MPH using medium to firm pedal pressure. DO NOT allow the brakes to lock. Ensure brakes do not overheat. Allow sufficient cooling periods between stops in order to properly burnish the brake pads and rotors.
