2008 Chevrolet Corvette Brake Caliper Bracket Parts and Q&A

• Q: How to replace the front brake caliper bracket on 2008 Chevrolet Corvette?

  A: Secure your brake caliper with mechanical wire to maintain safety before handle replacement. You need to disconnect the brake caliper from its bracket before extracting the brake pads and their holders from the Brake Caliper Bracket. Brake caliper mounting bracket bolts should be replaced with new bolts every time they need to be removed since using old bolts is not allowed. Untighten and discard both brake caliper mounting bracket bolts then remove the washers. Inspect the brake caliper mounting bracket for damage before replacing it if issues are found during the removal process from the knuckle. Remove every trace of adhesive from either the brake caliper mounting bracket or the knuckle surface before putting new parts together. You can install the new brake caliper mounting bracket by placing it on the knuckle and adding the washers and bolts. These parts have thread adhesive already applied and must be tightened to 175 n.m (129 lb.ft). Apply high-temperature silicone lubricant to the brake caliper pin bolts before you put on the Brake Pad retainers and brake pads onto the Brake Caliper Bracket.
