BASIC BRAKE KIT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Fitting a Hat-Type Disc Rotor

The following steps are recommended to ensure the best possible results after fitting a hat type disc rotor:

 

1. Remove wheel.

 

2. Remove brake pads and push caliper piston back. Start by first loosening the bleeder so as not to push contaminated fluid into the system. Check caliper condition e.g. slides are not stiff or worn.

 

3. Remove caliper from its supports without disconnecting brake line, making sure to secure it without letting it hang.

 

4. Remove old brake rotor.

 

5. Check hub bearings for wear, replace as necessary (refer to the vehicles manual for exact specifications).

 

6. Remove any scale or grit off hub face to ensure positive contact with the inside of the new rotor.

 

7. Fit new disc rotor to hub making sure it is indexed to a point with minimum run-out (using a radial dial indicator).

 

8. Refit brake caliper.

 

9. Clean any grease or foreign material off the rotor with Brake Cleaner.

 

10. Select correct brake pads to suit the style and driving conditions of the driver and vehicle.

 

11. Check brake fluid condition and replace as necessary. Do not flush dirty fluid through the system, remove dirty fluid from reservoir first.

 

12. Refit wheel, tightening wheel nuts in correct sequence and to recommended torque settings.

 

13. Carry out road test and bedding-in procedure. Refer to brake pad manufacturer’s bedding in procedure.

 

14. Ensure vehicle owner understands that the rotors will take approximately 300km to bed-in.

About Brake System

 

Brake caliper replacement is pretty simple – until you get to the bleeding part. Then you’ll need a friend (and possibly a whole lot of patience) to finish the job. Fancy bleeder tools help as well.

 

Brake Caliper Replacement Costs

If you decide to have a professional replace your caliper, which is a smart move if you’re uncertain of your mechanical prowess, expect to pay anywhere from a few hundred dollars to over $1,000. That’s certainly not chump change, but it beats having brake problems if you do the job incorrectly.

 

However, if you’re confident that you’re up to the task, you can cut labor costs and expect to pay $50 to $100 for a replacement caliper. Some calipers are brand-new, while others are remanufactured.

 

What Tools Do You Need to Install a Brake Caliper?

The tools needed to replace a brake caliper vary, depending on what type of car you have. But in general, you’ll need:

A good buddy or a one-person brake bleeding tool

Appropriate size line wrench

Brake fluid

Brake line plug (sold at most auto parts stores)

Breaker bar

C-clamp or disc brake spreader

Fluid catch pan

Jack and jack stands

Large screwdriver or pry bar

Plastic container

Ratchet and appropriate size sockets (some calipers may require a Torx or Allen head socket)

Rubber hose that fits the bleeder screw

Safety glasses

Torque wrench

Wheel chocks

 

Should You Do the Job Yourself?

We’re talking about your brakes here. If you have any doubts about tackling the job, don’t do it yourself. Let a professional complete the work instead.

On the other hand, if you’re savvy with a wrench, brake caliper replacement is usually a fairly simple task. As was mentioned, the toughest part of the job is the post-replacement brake bleeding.
