Monte Carlo V6-3.5L VIN K Flex Fuel (2006)
7. Install the brake rotor to the hub/axle flange. Use the matchmark made prior to removal for proper orientation to the flange.
8. Hold the rotor firmly in place against the hub/axle flange and install one of the J45101-100 (1) and one lug nut (2) onto the upper-most wheel stud.
9. Continue to hold the rotor secure and tighten the lug nut firmly by hand.
10. Install the remaining J45101-100 and lug nuts onto the wheel studs and tighten the nuts firmly by hand in a star-pattern.
11. Using the J39544-KIT, or equivalent, tighten the lug nuts in a star-pattern to specification, in order to properly secure the rotor. Refer to Tire and
Wheel Removal and Installation.
12. Measure the assembled LRO of the brake rotor.
13. If the brake rotor assembled LRO measurement still exceeds the maximum allowable specification, refer to Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral
Runout (LRO) Correction. See: Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral Runout Correction
14. If the brake rotor assembled LRO measurement is within specification, install the brake caliper and depress the brake pedal several times to secure
the rotor in place before removing the J45101-100 and the lug nuts.

Tools Required
^
J39544-KIT Torque-Limiting Socket Set, or equivalent
^
J45101-100 Conical Brake Rotor Washers
Caution: Refer to Brake Dust Caution in Service Precautions.
Important:
^
Brake rotor thickness variation MUST be checked BEFORE checking for assembled lateral runout (LRO). Thickness variation exceeding the
maximum acceptable level can cause brake pulsation. Refer to Brake Rotor Thickness Variation Measurement. See: Brake Rotor Thickness
Variation Measurement
^
Brake rotor assembled lateral runout (LRO) exceeding the maximum allowable specification can cause thickness variation to develop in the brake
rotor over time, usually between 4 800-11 300 km (3,000-7,000 mi). Refer to Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral Runout (LRO) Measurement. See:
Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral Runout Measurement
