Front Disc Brakes

GM replacement brake lining material is recommended for this vehicle to maintain the balance between the front and rear brake performance. GM replacement brake parts have been carefully selected to provide the proper brake balance for the purposes of stopping distance and control over the full range of operating conditions. Installation of front or rear brake lining material with performance characteristics different from the recommended-GM replacement parts can change the intended brake balance for this vehicle.

Disc Brake Linings:

REMOVE OR DISCONNECT
1 Brake caliper.
^ You do not need to disconnect the brake hose.





2. Suspend the caliper.

NOTE: Do not allow brake components to hang from the flexible hoses, Damage to the hoses could result

3. Caliper mounting bracket (if required)
4. Inboard pad.
5. Retainer spring.
6. Outboard pad.

INSTALL OR CONNECT
1. Caliper mounting bracket

^ Tighten bolts to 110 Nm (81 ft. lbs.).

2. Outboard pad.
3. Retainer spring to the inboard pad.
4. Inboard pad.
5. Brake caliper.

NOTE:
^ Make sure the brake hose is not twisted or kinked after installation. Damage to the hose could result.

^ Before moving the vehicle, pump the brake pedal several times to make sure it is firm. Do not move the vehicle until a firm pedal is obtained. Check the brake fluid level in the master cylinder after pumping the brakes.

Burnishing Linings and Rotors
After the brake linings are replaced and/or the rotors refinished, the new braking surface should be broken in, or "burnished." To do this, make 20 stops from 30 mph using medium to firm brake pedal pressure. During this procedure, use care to avoid overheating the brakes.
