Installation Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 GMC Canyon and 2010 Chevrolet Colorado. 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.
- Clean all rust and contaminates from the mating surfaces of the hub flange and rotor.
- Inspect the mating surfaces of the hub/axle flange and the rotor to ensure there are no foreign particles or debris remaining.
- Position the wheel hub to the brake rotor.
- Use only hand tools to install the wheel hub bolts.
- Ensure the wheel hub and brake rotor are properly mated.
- While supporting the brake rotor assembly, install the 6 wheel hub bolts and, using only hand tools, tighten the bolts to 120 N.m (89 lb ft).
- Install the wheel bearing and hub assembly. Refer to Front Wheel Bearing and Hub Replacement .
- Install the tire and wheel assembly. Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation .
NOTE:
Support the brake rotor assembly on wooden blocks to prevent damage to brake rotor friction surface.
