Silverado 3500 2WD V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004)
10. Remove the 2 brake caliper bracket mounting bolts.
11. Mark the relationship of the rotor to the hub.
12. Notice:
Support the brake caliper with heavy mechanic's 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.
Remove the brake caliper and brake caliper mounting bracket as an assembly and support with heavy mechanic's wire or equivalent. DO NOT
disconnect the hydraulic brake flexible hose from the caliper.
13. Remove the rotor retaining push nuts from the wheel studs, if applicable.
14. It may be necessary to strike the end of the hub or the rotor with a dead blow hammer to separate the rotor from the hub.
15. Remove the rotor by slowly turning the rotor while pulling the rotor away from the axle.
Installation Procedure
1. Important:
Whenever the brake rotor has been separated from the hub/axle flange, any rust or contaminants should be cleaned from the hub/axle flange and
the brake rotor mating surfaces. Failure to do this may result in excessive assembled lateral runout (LRO) of the brake rotor, which could lead to
brake pulsation.
Use the J 42450-A to clean all rust and contaminants from the mating surface of the hub flange.
2. Use the J 41013 to clean all rust and contaminants from the inside diameter of the hat section of the brake rotor to prevent any foreign material
from getting between the brake rotor and the hub flange.
3. Inspect the mating surfaces of the hub/axle flange and the rotor to ensure that there are no foreign particles or debris remaining.
4. Align the rotor to its original position on the hub, if applicable.
