Front Pad Removal Before replacing the pads, inspect the master cylinder to ensure that it has not been topped off before retracting the pistons into the caliper bores. The front brakes are a floating dual-piston caliper type, the pistons are phenolic. The caliper bridge bolts have a guide pin and bolt that attach the caliper to the bracket. Removing the bottom bolt allows the caliper to be pivoted out of the bracket. Using a special piston retractor designed to push evenly on the dual pistons is highly recommended. The pads are retained in the bracket with anti-rattle clips. To release the pad from the clip, there are tabs at the ends of pad that are depressed to release the pad. The pads have noise dampening material attached to the back of the pads. Front Pad Install Inspect the dust boots for damage and replace if necessary. Inspect the guide pins and replace and lubricate if necessary. The boot is to be seated in the grooves of the caliper bracket and guide pin. Install new anti-rattle clips and pads, rotate the caliper and align the flats on the guide pin to the mounting ear of the caliper. Torque the guide pin bolts to 64 Nm (30 ft/lbs). The caliper bracket bolts on this vehicle use high strength thread locker to hold it in place (it is the “red stuff”). Make sure to clean the old thread locker material off the threads with denatured alcohol before putting new thread locker on. The bolts should be tightened to a whopping 129 ft/lbs! Rear Pads Inspect the dust boots for damage and replace the caliper if necessary. Inspect the guide pins and replace and lubricate if necessary. The boot is to be seated in the grooves of the caliper bracket and guide pin. Install new anti-rattle clips and pads rotate the caliper and align the flats on the guide pin to the mounting ear of the caliper. Torque the guide pin bolts to 64 Nm (30 ft/lbs). Like in the front, the rear caliper brackets use thread locker. Make sure to clean threads. Then torque the bolts to 148 ft/lbs. Rotor and Hub Inspection Specifications: Front Brakes

1. Raise the vehicle. 2. Remove both front wheel and tire assemblies. 3. Begin on one side of the vehicle. 4. Remove the anti-rattle clip from the outboard side of the caliper and adapter. 5. Remove the two caliper guide pin bolts. 6. Remove caliper from caliper adapter and brake rotor. CAUTION: Supporting weight of caliper by the flexible brake fluid hose can damage the hose. 7. Using wire or cord, hang the caliper from the front strut assembly. Support the caliper firmly to prevent weight of caliper from being supported by the brake fluid hose. 9. Pull the inboard brake shoe away from the caliper piston until the retaining clip on shoe is free from the cavity in the caliper piston. 10. Repeat the above procedure on other side of the vehicle. REMOVAL – FRONT DISC BRAKE SHOES (DISC/DRUM BRAKES) 1. Raise the vehicle.. NOTE: Perform Step 2 through Step 5 on each side of the vehicle. 2. Remove the front tire and wheel assembly.

Subject: Models: EI10035 — Engineering Information –Front Suspension Noise, Clunk, Popping, Rattle 2010 Chevrolet Camaro Condition Important: If the customer did not bring their vehicle in for this concern, DO NOT proceed with this PI. Some customers may comment on a noise coming from the front suspension. Description of the noise can include suspension clunk, popping or rattle. Upon further inspection, the noise can be generally traced to the front strut assembly. Strut assembly components, including struts and top mounts, returned under warranty have been tested with no trouble found. Cause GM Engineering is attempting to determine the root cause of the condition above. Engineering has a need to gather information on vehicles PRIOR to repair that may exhibit this condition. As a result, this information will be used to “root cause” the customer’s concern and develop/validate a field fix.
