  Q: How to replace the front brake caliper bracket on Chevrolet SSR?

  A:

  Prior to changing the front Brake Caliper Bracket, lift up the vehicle and take off the tire and wheel assembly. Check the brake caliper assembly and hang it using heavy mechanic's wire or alternatively while still disconnected from mount with the hydraulic flexible brake hose in case of brakes required by the house to leave it loose to avoid damage of the hose and brake fluid leaks. Remove the caliper assembly (front brake) from the assembly and move it to the side, then check the brake and remove it from the mounting bracket from the inboard Brake Pad and check it. Check the hardware of the brake and remove the Brake Pad retaining clips off the mounting bracket. Next, remove brake caliper mounting bracket retention bolts and the bracket itself, followed by the seals of guide pins from the bracket, and check brake rotor. Install the guide pin seals onto the mounting bracket, clean your guide pins and Brake Pad retaining clips using denatured alcohol if they will be reused, and dry them with non-lubricated, filtered air. Apply high temperature silicone brake lubricant on the brake caliper guide pins without touching the Brake Pad retaining clips and then mount the brake caliper mounting bracket fixing it using the caliper mounting bracket bolts screwed up to 150 nm (110 ft. Lbs.). Mount the rear Brake Pad hardware onto the bracket, install the brake pads and include the brake caliper assembly. Lastly, replace the tire and wheel assembly, lower the vehicle, and ascertain that said firm brake pedal is achieved before moving the vehicle or risk victimization as a result of injury. Slowly and firmly press the brake pedal to seat the brake pads.

  Q: How to replace the rear brake caliper bracket on Chevrolet SSR?

  A:

  Lift the vehicle to work on the brakes and disconnect the wheel unit. The brake caliper assembly should receive heavy mechanic wire support when separated from its mount yet connected to flexible hydraulic brake hoses to avoid damage and fluid leaks. Mount the brake caliper aside to access the Brake Pads while checking their condition before taking the front brake pads off the mounting block. Start by examining brake hardware and then unfasten Brake Pad retaining clips from the mounting bracket before taking off the brake caliper mounting bracket bolts and bracket itself. Examine the mounting bracket of the brake caliper after you take out its guide pin seals. Put guide pin seals on the mounting bracket first then wipe guide pins and Brake Pad retaining clips with denatured alcohol if you reusing them before drying with filtered air. Place high temperature brake lubricant on the brake caliper guide pins except the Brake Pad clips and bolt the caliper mounting bracket into place while tightening bolts to 200 nm (148 ft. Lbs.). Set the rear Brake Pad hardware at the caliper mounting bracket and place the brake pads before installing the complete brake caliper unit. Reinstall the tire and wheel unit while lowering the vehicle then press the brake gradually to make sure the pads are correctly positioned.
