Installation Procedure

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2008 GMC Yukon XL, 2008 GMC Yukon, 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2008 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2008 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
    NOTE: Any new rotor must have the protective coating removed from the friction surfaces before being placed in service. Remove the protective coating using denatured alcohol or an equivalent brake cleaner, and wipe the surface clean with clean cloths. Do not use gasoline, kerosene, or other oil base solvents which may leave an oily residue. This residue is damaging to the brake lining and is flammable.
    IMPORTANT: Whenever the brake rotor has been separated from the hub/axle flange, any rust or contaminants should be cleaned from the hub/axle flange and the brake rotor mating surfaces. Failure to do this may result in excessive assembled lateral runout (LRO) of the brake rotor, which could lead to brake pulsation.
  1. Using the J 42450-A  , clean all rust and contaminants from the mating surface of the hub flange. See Special Tools .
  2. Using the J 41013  , clean all rust and contaminants from the inside diameter of the hat section of the brake rotor to prevent any foreign material from getting between the brake rotor and the hub flange. See Special Tools .
  3. Inspect the mating surfaces of the hub/axle flange and the rotor to ensure that there are no foreign particles or debris remaining.
    4. IMPORTANT: If the rotor was removed using the jack screw method you must ensure that the hub flange is free of nicks or marks caused by this procedure. Remove all raised nicks or marks before installing the rotor.

  4. Align the rotor to its original position on the hub, if applicable, and install the rotor.
    5. NOTE: Refer to Fastener Notice .
  5. Install the brake rotor screw.

    Tighten:  Tighten the screw to 12 N.m (106 lb in).

  6. If the rotor was removed and installed as part of a brake system repair, measure the assembled lateral runout (LRO) of the rotor to ensure optimum performance of the disc brakes. Refer to Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral Runout Measurement .
  7. If the rotor assembled LRO measurement exceeds the specification, bring the LRO to within specifications. Refer to Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral Runout Correction .

  8. Install the brake caliper and brake caliper bracket.
  9. Perform the following procedure before installing the brake caliper bracket mounting bolts.
    1. Remove all traces of the original adhesive patch.
    2. Clean the threads of the bolts with brake parts cleaner or equivalent and allow to dry.
    3. Apply threadlocker GM P/N 12345493 (Canadian P/N 10953488) to the threads of the bolts.
  10. Install the 2 brake caliper bracket mounting bolts.

    Tighten:  Tighten the bolts to 200 N.m (148 lb ft).

  11. Install the tire and wheel assembly. Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation .
  12. Lower the vehicle.
  13. With the engine OFF, gradually apply the brake pedal to approximately 2/3 of its travel distance.
  14. Slowly release the brake pedal.
  15. Wait 15 seconds, then repeat steps 13-14 until a firm pedal is obtained to properly seat the caliper pistons and the brake pads.
  16. Fill the master cylinder reservoir to the proper level with clean brake fluid, if necessary. Refer to Master Cylinder Reservoir Filling (JD9, JH6) or Master Cylinder Reservoir Filling (Two-mode Hybrid) .
