  Q: How to replace the front disc brake pads on Cadillac SRX?

  A:

  Before replacing front brake pads check the brake master cylinder reservoir fluid level. The vehicle stays safe even if no fluid needs to be drained when the level measures at the midway mark. Lift the vehicle and take off its tire and wheel combination from the ground. Hold one end of the c-clamp against the outer Brake Pad and the back of the brake caliper body then tighten slowly to push brake pistons into their caliper housings. Apply hand tools only when fitting or removing guide pins and maintain the caliper guide pin in place using an open-end wrench without allowing any contact between the tool and brake caliper to prevent brake pulsation during usage. Put heavy mechanic wire under the brake caliper during all hydraulic flexible brake hose connections before separating it from its mounting bracket. Rest the caliper on one hand and use a Brake Pad spreader to press new wood blocks against it. This positions the caliper pistons inside the bore before Brake Pad removal. Take out both brake pads including their upper and lower springs and discard the springs when replacing brake pads. Set new Brake Pad springs upper and lower into position followed by inner and outer brake pads. Then rotate brake caliper correctly to its place. Use a back up wrench to immobilize the brake caliper guide pin and thread in the guide pin bolt. Tighten it to 60 nm (44 lb ft). Use the brake pedal from zero to two thirds of its range after installing the wheel rear tire. Repeat this process slowly until the brake caliper pistons and brake pads correctly position themselves when you have turned off the engine. Complete the task by adding brake fluid to the master cylinder reservoir and by giving the brake pads and rotors a roughing process.

  Q: How to replace the rear disc brake pads (JL9, JE5) on Cadillac SRX?

  A:

  Start the rear disc Brake Pad replacement on jl9 and je5 models by checking if the brake fluid level in the reservoir is above the midrange line; drain fluid to that level when the reservoir is overfilled. Next step raises the car for access then takes off the tire and wheel set. Apply a c-clamp and position it against the caliper body to push out the piston through an old pad or wooden block. After the piston completely depresses you need to take away the c-clamp. After holding the guide pin with a wrench, unscrew the lower caliper bolt and support the brake caliper with mechanic wire to avoid the Hydraulic Hose from damaging. Turn the caliper upward and take out its brake pads and retainers from the mounting bracket. Look for damage on caliper guide pin bolts, guide pins, seals, and piston boot parts before exchanging corroded or damaged items. Install new Brake Pad retainers and pads after positioning the wear sensor correctly. Use the c-clamp to push the pistons completely out first, then remove the device and pull out the old pad set. Apply threadlocker gm p/n 12345493 first to two-thirds of the bolt thread before cleaning the lower caliper mounting holes and threads. Put high-temp silicone lubricant on the brake caliper guide pin before adding the lower brake caliper pin bolt and tightening it to 60 n.m (44 lb ft). Put back the tire and wheel parts, put the vehicle down, and while the engine remains off apply the brake pedal gently until it reaches half pressure mark and let go. Rephrase the steps starting from the initial brake pedal stroke until you reach solid pressure and finalize brake fluid addition.
