Installation Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Buick Verano. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Using the CH-42450-A resurfacer , thoroughly clean any rust or corrosion from the mating surface of the hub/axle flange (1).
- Using the CH-41013 resurfacer , thoroughly clean any rust or corrosion from the mating surface and mounting surface of the brake rotor (2).
- Inspect the mating surfaces of the hub/axle flange and the rotor to ensure that there are no foreign particles or debris remaining.
- Install the brake rotor to the hub/axle flange. Use the mark made prior to removal to ensure proper orientation to the flange.
- Install the brake rotor screw and tighten to 9 N.m (80 lb in).
- If the brake rotor was removed and installed as part of a brake system repair, measure the assembled LRO of the brake rotor to ensure optimum performance of the disc brakes. Refer to Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral Runout Measurement .
- If the brake rotor assembled LRO measurement exceeds the specification, bring the LRO to within specifications. Refer to Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral Runout Correction .
- Remove the support, and install the brake caliper and the brake caliper bracket as an assembly to the steering knuckle.
- Install NEW brake caliper bracket bolts (1) and tighten a first pass to 100 N.m (74 lb ft).
- Tighten the NEW brake caliper bracket bolts a final pass to an additional 60 - 75 degrees, using the EN-45059 meter.
- Install the tire and wheel assembly. Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation .
- Lower the vehicle.
NOTE:
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.
CAUTION:
Refer to Fastener Caution .
WARNING:
Refer to Torque-to-Yield Fastener Warning .
