Installation Procedure
Notice: Whenever the brake rotor has been separated from the wheel bearing flange, clean any rust or foreign material from the mating surface of the
rotor and flange with the J42450 hub cleaning kit. Failure to do this may result in increased lateral runout of the rotor and brake pulsation.
1. Use the J42450-A to clean all rust and contaminants from the mating surface of the hub flange.
2. Use the J41013 to clean all rust and contaminants from the inside diameter of the hub section of the brake rotor to prevent any foreign material
from getting between the brake rotor and the hub flange.
Important: If the rotor was removed using the jack screw method you must ensure that the hub flange is free of nicks or marks caused by this
procedure. Remove all raised nicks or marks before installing the rotor.
3. Align the rotor to its original position on the hub, if applicable, and install the rotor.
4. Install the caliper and caliper mounting bracket assembly.
5. Perform the following procedure before installing the brake caliper bracket mounting bolts.
^
Remove all traces of the original adhesive patch.
^
Clean the threads of the bolt with brake parts cleaner or the equivalent and allow to dry.
^
Apply Threadlocker GM P/N 12345493 (Canadian P/N 10953488) to the threads of the bolt.
Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions.
