Malibu L4-144 2.4L DOHC VIN T SFI (1998)
NOTICE: Do not allow gear to turn while removing the retaining nut, since the modulator piston can hit the top of the modulator bore, damaging
the piston. Place a screwdriver through the holes in the gears (not between the gears) into the recessed hole in the modulator base. This will
prevent the gear from turning, aiding in gear removal.
IMPORTANT: Do not repair damaged motor packs or brake modulators. Other than modulator drive gears replacement, repair of the motor pack
and brake modulator assemblies is not authorized. Do not oil or lubricate the gears on the motor pack.
1. Remove the Hydraulic Modulator Assembly.
2. Remove the Torx head screws that attach the gear cover.
3. Remove the motor pack to modulator Torx head screws.
IMPORTANT: Use care when handling the motor pack. Replace the motor pack if the motor pack is dropped or damaged during handling.
4. Separate the motor pack from the Hydraulic Modulator.
5. Remove the three modulator drive gear retaining nuts.
6. Remove the gears from the modulator.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
1. Position the modulator drive gears onto the modulator drive shaft.
NOTICE: Do not allow gear to turn while removing the retaining nut, since the modulator piston can hit the top of the modulator bore, damaging
the piston. Place a screwdriver through the holes in the gears (not between the gears) into the recessed hole in the modulator base. This will
prevent the gear from turning, aiding in gear removal.
NOTICE: Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions.
2. Install the three gear retaining nuts.
-
Tighten the nuts to 8.5 Nm (76 in. lbs.).
3. With either of the modulators positioned upside down, and the gears facing your, rotate each ABS brake modulator gear counterclockwise until
movement stops.
Rotating the modulator gears will cause the following conditions:
-
The pistons on the ABS brake modulator will be positioned very close to the top of the modulator bore.
-
The brake bleeding procedure is simplified.
IMPORTANT: Use care when handling the motor pack. Replace the motor pack if the motor pack is dropped or damaged during handling.
