Installation Procedure
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2015 GMC Yukon XL, 2015 GMC Yukon, 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2015 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2015 Cadillac Escalade ESV. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
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.
- Using the CH-42450-A Wheel Hub Resurfacing Kit, thoroughly clean any rust or corrosion from the mating surface of the hub/axle flange.
- Using the CH-41013 Rotor Resurfacing Kit, thoroughly clean any rust or corrosion from the mating surface and mounting surface of the brake rotor.
- Inspect the mating surfaces of the hub/axle flange and the rotor to ensure there are no foreign particles or debris remaining.
- Prepare the brake caliper bracket bolts and bracket threaded holes for assembly:
- Thoroughly clean the residue from the bolt threads with denatured alcohol and allow to dry.
- Thoroughly clean the residue from the threaded holes of the caliper bracket with denatured alcohol and allow to dry.
- Apply threadlocker to 2/3 of the threaded length of the brake caliper bracket bolts. Refer to Adhesives, Fluids, Lubricants, and Sealers .
- Ensure there are no gaps in the threadlocker along the filled area of the bolts.
- Allow the threadlocker to cure approximately 10 minutes before installation.
- Install the brake rotor (1).
- Install the brake rotor bolt (1) and tighten to 12 N.m (106 lb in).
- Install the disc brake caliper and bracket assembly.
- Install the brake caliper bracket bolts (1) and tighten to 230 N.m (170 lb ft).
- Install the tire and wheel assembly. Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation (6-Lug Wheel) .
- If the brake rotor was refinished or replaced, or if new brake pads were installed, burnish the pads and rotors. Refer to Brake Pad and Rotor Burnishing .
NOTE:
If reusing the brake caliper bracket bolts, the threads of the caliper bracket bolts and threaded holes of the caliper bracket must be free of residue and debris prior to the application of threadlocker to ensure proper adhesion and fastener retention.
CAUTION:
Refer to Fastener Caution .
