Use GM replacement brake lining material for this vehicle. GM replacement brake parts provide the proper brake balance for stopping distance and for braking control. The intended brake balance for this vehicle can change if GM replacement brake lining materials are not used.

1. Remove two-thirds of the brake fluid from the master cylinder reservoir.

Notice: Support the brake caliper with heavy mechanic wire, or equivalent, whenever it is separated from its mount and the hydraulic flexible brake hose is still connected. Failure to support the caliper in this manner will cause the flexible brake hose to bear the weight of the caliper, which may cause damage to the brake hose and in turn may cause a brake fluid leak.

Important: Do not disconnect the brake hose from the caliper.




2. Remove the caliper. Refer to Front Brake Caliper Replacement .




Notice: Support the caliper with a piece of wire to prevent damage to the brake line.

3. Suspend the caliper.
4. Remove the pads from the caliper bracket.

Caution: Do not move the vehicle until a firm brake pedal is obtained. Failure to obtain a firm pedal before moving vehicle may result in personal injury.

Important: Before installing new brake pads, wipe the outside surface of the caliper boot clean. Use denatured alcohol.

1. Install the pads to the caliper bracket.
2. Verify that all 4 of the wear sensors are in place.




Notice: Make sure the brake hose is not twisted or kinked after installation. Damage to the hose could result.

3. Install the caliper. Refer to Front Brake Caliper Replacement .
