How to Service and Repair the Front Brake Calipers (J56) on Cadillac STS?

When servicing the front brake caliper (J56) handle the caliper with care to protect its painted finish and wipe down painted surfaces with denatured alcohol prior to cleaning. Rubber parts should receive new delco supreme 11(R) with gm p/n 12377967 (Canadian P/N 992667) or equivalent dot-3 brake fluid for lubrication and all repair parts need replacement. Bleeding the brake system becomes necessary after removing any component from the hydraulic system. When removing pistons the interior of the caliper housing needs to be padded with clean cloth materials while using low-pressure compressed air to direct pistons away from your fingers. Make two types of wooden blocks: cut one set to 19 mm (3/4 inch) x 51 mm (2 inch) x 51 mm (2 inch) and cut the other set as 19 mm (3/4 inch) x 51 mm (2 inch) x 127 mm (5 inch) for padding. The brake caliper should be secured inside a vise using protective caps and the fabricated blocks combined with c-clamps as tools to remove the pistons. Carefully extract dust boot seals and Piston seals with a flat-bladed tool before discarding them. Use denatured alcohol to clean the caliper while checking Piston bore cleanness with great attention to avoid honing or abrasive use. Inspect for any damage; check the caliper until you identify any damage. Then get a new caliper assembly. Proceed with caliper assembly by inserting new Piston dust boot seals into bore seal grooves after lubricating new Piston seals with delco supreme 11(R) brake fluid gm p/n 12377967 (Canadian P/N 992667) or equivalent dot-3 fluid. Fill the Piston bores and pistons with thin brake fluid before you put the Piston and dust boot assemblies in the correct position. Torque the brake caliper bleeder valves to 14 nm (124 inch lbs. Torque). Settle the caliper back onto the vehicle after installing bleeder valve caps and twisting the bleeder valves to 14 nm (124 inch lbs.).

How to Remove and Replace Front Brake Calipers (JE5) on Cadillac STS?

Before you start replacing the front brake caliper je5, check the brake master cylinder reservoir fluid. Drain fluid until the level reaches the halfway mark between maximum and minimum levels when the fluid level stands above this line. Lift the vehicle and detach its tire while leaving the wheel set. Apply a large c-clamp over the caliper to push the piston until it can slide off the rotor before taking out the clamp. Take the brake hose off the caliper by unscrewing its bolt and disposing both copper brake hose gaskets. Seal up the openings before the fluid can escape. Detach the caliper pin bolts first and slide the caliper off its bracket. Position caliper guide pin boots correctly when installing the unit. Check the guide pin boots for damage and order new ones when needed. Seat the brake caliper correctly onto its bracket after cleaning threads of caliper pin bolts and bracket holes. Apply threadlocker gm p/n 12345493 (or Canadian P/N 10953488) to 2/3 of the threads on lower caliper bracket bolts before letting curing take place for about 10 minutes. Before assembly let the threadlocker dry for 10 minutes before putting on brake caliper pin bolts and installing them by tightening to 34 n.m (25 lb ft) torque. Place new copper brake hose gaskets on the brake caliper and hose ports before attaching them with the bolt. Tighten the bolt to 50 n.m (37 lb ft). Press the brake pedal for 2/3 of its extent until the engine stops and release gradually to complete the bleeding process when brake feel becomes strong. Put back the tire and wheel assembly while lowering the car at the end.

Cadillac STS Brake Calipers are the parts of the brake system, which is considered to be highly effective for Cadillac STS brand cars, and are used in a number of models. These Brake Calipers work on hydraulic pressure sourced from the master cylinder and translates this to mechanical force which then applies pressure to the brake pads in order to offer the much needed friction on the rotors for improved stopping power. Cadillac STS vehicles use both fixed and floating calipers; the fixed types use many pistons to apply a steady amount of pressure on the rotors and hence are preferred for their better performance while the floating types, though much easier are likely to stick sometimes. The Cadillac STS Brake Calipers are made using steel material such as cast iron and light aluminum meeting the variety of driving styles. In this case, these brake calipers require frequent servicing to avoid pad wear and brake drag to enable the prime efficiency. Cadillacs STS is a luxury sedan model that that came into the market in 1988 and has since experience a number of changes especially with an incorporation of extra features and a powerful engine such as the Northstar V8. Technological advancements like the lane departure warnings and blind spot monitors go to show that Brake Calipers are all the more critical when it comes to improving the general safety of the vehicle out on the road. Regarding their quality, the Cadillac STS Brake Calipers are quite unique when it comes to their ability to perform while still maintaining the dependability of a Cadillac vehicle, which adds to Cadillac STS's image of being a luxurious and, at the same time, powerful sedan. Its compatibility with all STS models gives the opportunity to the Cadillac drivers to use all the excellence of Cadillac engineering, that is why these Brake Calipers are one of the indispensable components of the car.

Press the brake pedal for 2/3 of its extent until the engine stops and release gradually to complete the bleeding process when brake feel becomes strong. Put back the tire and wheel assembly while lowering the car at the end.
