How do you install a new brake caliper on a Camaro?
With the brake caliper in place, install the guide pin bolts (caliper bolts). Torque the bolts to approximately 25 ft/lbs. If a new brake caliper has been installed, re-attach the brake hose using new crush washers on the banjo bolt and torque to approximately 35 ft/lbs.

How do you install a new brake rotor?
Install your new rotor, and wipe it down one last time with brake cleaner. Brake cleaner will strip paint, so always use it carefully. You can use a lug nut to hold the rotor in place while you reattach the caliper mounting bracket. Grease the contact points on the caliper mounting bracket and reinstall it.
How do you install a brake caliper on a corvette?
With the brake rotor in place, install the brake caliper bracket using medium strength Threadlocker (blue) on the threads of the mounting bolts. Corvette and F-body cars typically require the mounting bolts to be torqued between 75 ft/lbs and 125 ft/lbs. Refer to your service manual for the correct torque specifications. Figure 13.
How are brake pads applied to the rotor?
When the brake pedal is applied, the fluid is pushed into the brake caliper on each wheel. This moves the caliper piston forward and forces the brake pads against the rotor. The caliper uses slide pins so that it can move freely and apply force to both sides of the rotor evenly.

Which is hotter front or rear brake pads?
The front brakes should be hotter than the rear brakes. Brake pad material does not affect the temperature for rear vs front. You have a brake pressure distribution issue or sticky rear calipers. Check the proportioning valve or the brake hoses to the rear.
What causes brakes to shimmy right after rotor and pad?
The shimmy feeling that comes from brakes is usually due to uneven friction material build-up on the rotor. This transfer from pad to rotor is supposed to happen, indeed it makes the brakes work better, which is why brakes function better after break-in.
