Removal (Rear Without Dual Wheels)

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2003 GMC Savana Special, 2003 GMC Savana Camper Special, 2003 GMC Savana, 2003 Chevrolet RV Cutaway, and 2003 Chevrolet Cutaway. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Required Tools: Slide Hammer With Adapter (J-2619-01), Rotor Resurfacing Kit (J-41013), Wheel Hub Resurfacing Kit (J-42450-A) and Rotor Removal Tool (J-46277).
  1. Release the park brake. Raise and suitably support the vehicle. Remove the tire and wheel assembly.
  2. Mark the relationship of the rotor to the hub. Install a C-clamp over the body of the brake caliper, with the C-clamp ends against the rear of the caliper body and the outboard disc brake pad.
  3. Slowly tighten the C-clamp until the pistons are pushed into the caliper bores enough to remove the caliper from the pads. Remove the C-clamp from the caliper. Remove the brake caliper bracket mounting bolts.
  4. Remove the brake caliper and brake caliper bracket as an assembly and support with heavy mechanic's wire or equivalent. DO NOT disconnect the hydraulic brake flexible hose from the caliper.
  5. Remove the rotor retaining push nuts from the wheel studs, if applicable. 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.
  6. Remove the brake rotor. Do not force the rotor off. If the rotor is difficult to remove, ease it off by gently rotating it as you pull outward. If the brake rotor cannot be removed perform the following:
    1. Assemble Rotor Removal Tool to the Slide Hammer With Adapter.
    2. Insert Rotor Removal Tool between the rotor friction surfaces in the vent section of the rotor. DO NOT place the Rotor Removal Tool on the rotor friction surface.
    3. Using Rotor Removal Tool and Slide Hammer With Adapter remove the rotor from the hub assembly.
    4. Inspect the park brake components for the following conditions:
      • Bent or broken hold down spring.
      • Broken, cracked or worn brake shoe lining.
      • Bent or damaged brake shoe.
      • Worn, bent or damaged backing plate.
    5. If any of these conditions are found replace the affected parts.
