Brake Caliper Bracket: Installation

  1. Install the brake caliper bracket. Perform the following procedure before installing the brake caliper bracket mounting bolts.
    • Remove all traces of the original adhesive patch.
    • Clean the threads of the bolt with denatured alcohol or equivalent and allow to dry.
    • Apply Threadlocker (GM P/N 12345493).
  2. Install the caliper bracket mounting bolts. Tighten the brake caliper bracket mounting bolts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS . Install the anti-rattle clips to the brake caliper bracket. Install the brake pads to the brake caliper bracket.
  3. Slide the brake pads in until they contact the rotor. Install the brake caliper. See BRAKE CALIPER . Install the tire and wheel assembly. Lower the vehicle.
  4. With the engine OFF, gradually apply the brake pedal to approximately 2/3 of its travel distance. Slowly release the brake pedal. Wait 15 seconds, then repeat until a firm pedal is obtained. This will properly seat the brake caliper pistons and brake pads.
