G6 L4-2.4L (2007)
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.
1. Remove the brake caliper from the brake caliper mounting bracket and support the brake caliper with heavy mechanic's wire (1), or equivalent. Do
NOT disconnect the hydraulic brake flexible hose from the caliper.
2. Remove the brake pads (2) from the brake caliper bracket.
3. Remove the brake pad retainers (2) from the brake caliper bracket.
4. If reusing the bracket, thoroughly clean the pad hardware mating surfaces (1) of the caliper bracket, of any debris and corrosion.
5. Inspect the disc brake pad retainers (2) for the following:
*
Bent mounting tabs
*
Excessive corrosion
*
Looseness at the brake caliper mounting bracket
*
Looseness at the disc brake pads
6. If any of the conditions listed are found, the disc brake pad retainers require replacement.
