Installation Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Chevrolet Spark. 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 flange (1).
- Using the CH-41013 rotor resurfacing kit, 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 (1) to the hub/axle flange.
- Install the brake rotor screw (2) and tighten to 4 N.m (35 lb in).
- Remove the support, and install the brake caliper and the brake caliper bracket as an assembly to the steering knuckle and install the brake caliper bracket bolts (1). Refer to Front Brake Caliper Bracket Replacement .
- Install the tire and wheel assembly. Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation .
- Lower the vehicle.
- 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:
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 .
