Hi, I'm Don from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and the next time you need a part for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we show you how to service the front brakes on this 2002 Suzuki Xl7. We show you on the passenger's side, but the driver's side is a similar procedure. The items that you're going to need for this include a new front rotor from 1AAuto.com, 14mm, 17mm, 19mm sockets and a ratchet with a piece of pipe for leverage, flat blade screwdriver, large C-clamp, torque wrench, brake grease, mineral spirits or brake cleaner, and jack and jack stands.
Start off by prying off your hubcap. Then you want to remove those 19mm lug nuts. If you don't have air-powered tools, you're going to want to loosen them up while the vehicle's on the ground and then jack it up and remove them the rest of the way. Then the wheel pulls off.
Now, you want to inspect your brakes. You want to check the rotor, making sure there's not too big of a lip at the top there. Then, to check your brake pads, you just look in through here, and you can see how much life's left on them. Now, you want to remove this 14mm bolt and this 17mm bolt right here. We'll fast-forward as Don does this. Now pull the caliper up and off and set it aside, and pull your brake pads free.
Next, you want to remove these two 17mm bolts. Yours will look a lot more normal than this. Your caliper bracket will pull free, and your rotor will slide off. On the left is the old rotor and brake pads; on the right is the new rotor from 1A Auto and some new brake pads. You can see they're identical, and they'll fit exactly the same.
Using mineral spirits or brake cleaner, you want to just wipe down your new rotor. Using brake grease, just apply some brake grease to either side of those brake pads. Push your new rotor into place. Then put your caliper bracket back into place, and replace those two 17mm bolts. Tighten them up. Torque these bolts to 80 to 85 foot-pounds.
Push your brake pads into the bracket. Now, using a large C-clamp, you want to push you caliper piston back in. Then fit your caliper down over the brake pads and into the caliper bracket. Replace that 14mm bolt and the 17mm bolt that hold the caliper into place. We'll just fast-forward as Don does this. Torque the 17mm to 50 to 55 foot-pounds, and the 14mm to 40-45 foot-pounds.
Replace the wheel and those 19mm lug nuts. You want to tighten them preliminarily, then lower the vehicle and tighten them the rest of the way. Torque each of these lug nuts to 100 foot-pounds in a crossing pattern. Before taking the vehicle out on the road, you want to pump the brakes until they firm up. Then do a stopping test from 5 miles per hour and 10 miles per hour.
