  Q: How to replace the front disc brake pads on Chevrolet HHR?

  A:

  Before starting pad replacement check the master cylinder reservoir fluid level; pull fluid until the level reaches the halfway point between top and bottom lines. Place the car on a lift then take off its tires and wheel assembly. Secure the brake rotor onto the hub by aligning two wheel nuts to wheel studs at their opposite ends. Apply a large c-clamp onto the brake caliper to push the piston inside the bore before you remove the clamp. Secure the brake caliper with wire to protect hydraulic flexible hose as you unscrew its lower guide pin bolt. Shift the brake caliper up and extract the inboard Brake Pad pointing at its sensor placement. Then remove the outboard Brake Pad and disc Brake Pad retainers. Check the components that attach the disc brake to its mounting position. Spread high temp silicone brake lubricant on the caliper bracket parts that the Brake Pad hardware meets before you put in the disc Brake Pad retainers. Place the Brake Pad with wear sensor towards the inside of the wheel and against the rotor with the sensor side facing forward when the wheel moves forward. Reinstall the brake dampers after setting the inboard and outboard brake pads into place before positioning the brake caliper back. Pierce the lower brake caliper guide pin bolt into position and fasten it to 35 nm (26 lb ft). Replace the brake rotor wheel nuts then set the tire and wheel parts before letting the vehicle down. Activate the Brake Pedal by pressing it about 2/3 of its possible range without starting the engine. Follow with a slow release of the pedal. Let the Brake Pedal rest for 15 seconds in each brake application while you ensure all brake pistons and pads stay firmly in place. Replace master cylinder fluid up to the specified level and smooth the brake system parts.

  Q: How to replace the rear disc brake pads on Chevrolet HHR?

  A:

  To replace the rear disc brake pads, first, check the amount of fluid in brake master cylinder reservoir; if it is at the midpoint between the maximum and minimum points you do not have to remove any fluids, but if it is higher decrease it to the midpoint. Lift and place the car and then take the tire and wheel assembly out. Install 2 wheel nuts and tighten to the hand tight on opposite wheel studs to hold the rotor to hub. Apply a large c-clamp across the brake caliper-body with ends against the rear of the caliper and outer Brake Pad, and tighten until the caliper piston is compressed by 1 mm (0.039 in) at the piston head. Use a wrench to remove c-clamp; thereafter remove brake caliper guide pin bolts having the brake caliper guide pins subsequently. Support the caliper with heavy mechanic wire so that it will not cause any damage to the hydraulic flexible brake hose. After removing the hose, take out the caliper from the mounting bracket without disconnecting it for further fixation. Remove the brake pads and the Brake Pad retainers from the caliper bracket and clean the mating surfaces from the debris and corrosion. Open the brake caliper guide pins and examine for movement as well as the condition of the guide pin boots. If there are any issues with it, then replace the guide pins or boots. Move the piston fully back into the caliper bore with the help of a spanner wrench type caliper piston installer. Slip a thin layer of high temperature silicone brake lubricant on the mate surfaces of the caliper bracket and the pad hardware, then insert the Brake Pad retainers. Mount the leading edge of the wear sensor equipped disc Brake Pad inboard of the rotor, during the forward rotation of the wheel. Install the brake pads to the caliper bracket, the caliper to the mounting bracket then. With the aid of wrench on caliper guide pins position the brake caliper guide pin bolts and tighten to 35 nm (26 lb ft). Leave the wheel nuts that retain the hub to the brake rotor and mount the tire and the wheel assembly into position, and lowered the vehicle. With engine off, slowly press brake pedal to around 2/3 of travel distance and slowly release it. Wait for 15 seconds and repeat the process until a firm brake pedal is achieved to adequately seat the brake caliper pistons and brake pads. Lastly, fill the master cylinder auxiliary reservoir to the right level and burish the pads and rotors.
