  1. Install the brake pads, if removed.
    1. Install the outboard brake pad with the insulator installed toward the brake caliper housing.
    2. Install the inboard brake pad with the wear sensor installed nearest the brake caliper piston.
    3. The wear sensor must be in the trailing position during forward wheel rotation.
  2. Install the brake caliper housing over the brake rotor and into the brake caliper mounting bracket.
  3. Use silicone grease GM P/N 18010909 or equivalent, to lubricate inner diameters of the of the caliper bolt boots.
  4. Use silicone grease GM P/N 18010909 or equivalent, to lubricate the brake caliper bolt shaft. Do not lubricate the bolt threads. Caution

    These fasteners MUST be replaced with new fasteners anytime they become loose or are removed. Failure to replace these fasteners after they become loose or are removed may cause loss of vehicle control and personal injury.

    Notice

    Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
  5. Install the brake caliper guide pin bolts.TightenTighten the brake caliper guide pin bolts to 31 N·m (23 lb ft).
  6. Install the inlet fitting, two new gaskets and the inlet fitting bolt, if removed.TightenTighten the brake caliper inlet fitting bolt to 40 N·m (30 lb ft).






    That info? Thats for the front BTW, rears have the same torque requirements.
