How to remove the front rotor 2004 canyon - 2004 GMC Canyon

Tools Required:

Lug Removal Tool
Impact Gun(Recommended)
Sockets.. Lots of metric sockets
Ratchets
Wrenches
Porta Power(hydraulic piston) --- THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT... use to press hub off..
LOTS OF PATIENCE


Instructions:

1) Jack vehicle and support on jack stands.

2) Remove front tire.

3) Remove Front Brake caliper.. hang on frame using a bungee or other support
Important to not stress hose.

4) Remove brake pad support.

5) Remove 4 bolts from rear of hub.

6) Undo bolt for ABS sensorfrom frame, undo all clips holding wire.
Crawl under truckand unclip wire connector(trace wire from the ABS sensorto find it)

7) Make sure wire is unclipped from the frame and will not bind on removal of hub. (Prevents Damage of ABS sensor)

TRICKY PART: Turn the wheels so that you can use the hydraulic porta-power against where the lower control arm mountsto the front. (Turn the
wheel left). Position porta-power to be placed inside dimple of the middle of the hub. DO NOT DAMAGE ABS SENSOR...
Pump Porta-power until hub "Pops".. be extremely careful removing the hub not to damage the ABS wireat all.. It is easy to break and not notice (I did
this and had to resplice it)

9) Hub should be removed from vehicle by this point and you can remove the six bolts holding the old rotor on. Still be careful not to damage the sensor.

10) Change the rotor. (do not use impact gun to reattach.. may strip threads)

11) Installation is basically reverse of removal.

12) Install brake pads, press caliper back in (typical brake job)

13) Put tire back on.. do other side.. and you're done.


Porta Poweris this.... http://www.southern-tool.com/store/porta_power_kit.html

take a rubber mallet and pound on the back side,turn the rotor a little and pound again until it comes off

Is the piece you are referring to the piece that holds the brake pads? If so there should be two larger head bolts behind that piece that holds it on to the front axle.

IF you installed the wrong brake rotors,without the ABS reluctor ring[if equipped],the light will come on.Second possibility is you damaged the ABS wiring to the wheel speed sensor.There is a harness to each wheel.

Are we refering to the brake rotor? Jack the car up ,remove the wheel,remove the caliper bolts and slide the caliper off the rotor and then the rotor should come off. Let me know if this was helpful ! ! !

Jack the car up in the air and get it safely on jackstands.Then remove the front tires.Remove the calipers and caliper mounts.Then remove the center bearing cap, next remove the bearing tension nut, then the outer bearing will fall out with the washer.Last step is to firmly tug on the rotorand then remove the bolts in the center part of the rotor to split it from the hub.

Your going to hate this answer. The wheel hub has to come off. This brake system was designed by Isuzu. Don't know what else to say, it's a lousy job.

Disconnect the positive lead on battery wait about 30 seconds and reconnect. Take it out somewhere where you can floor it and go through the gears a couple times. This will clear error lights and establish a new acceration curve. If the error comes back then start looking for loose connections or alignment problem for abs stuff.

remove the 2 bolt holding the caliper hit the rotor with hammer rotor will get loose clean the hub of dirt or rust reassemble hope it help fixya our post thanks pierre if any other question dont hesitate thanks pierre
