Installation Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 GMC Canyon and 2018 Chevrolet Colorado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- 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.
Install the brake rotor (1).
- CAUTION:
Refer to Fastener Caution .
Install the brake rotor bolt (1) and tighten to 9 N.m (80 lb in).
- Prepare the brake caliper bolts and caliper threaded holes for assembly:
- Thoroughly clean the residue from the bolt threads with denatured alcohol or equivalent and allow to dry.
- Thoroughly clean the residue from the threaded holes with denatured alcohol or equivalent and allow to dry.
- Apply threadlocker to 2/3 of the threaded length of the bolts. Refer to Adhesives, Fluids, Lubricants, and Sealers .
- Position the brake caliper assembly to the steering knuckle.
Install the brake caliper bolts (1) and tighten to 80 N.m (59 lb ft) + 30-45 degrees.
- Install the tire and wheel assembly. Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation .
- If the brake rotor was refinished or replaced, or if new brake pads were installed, burnish the brake pads and rotors. Refer to Brake Pad and Rotor Burnishing .
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.
