MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
ON–VEHICLE SERVICE
WHEEL
Removal Procedure
1. Loosen the wheel bolts.
2. Raise and suitably support the vehicle.
3. Remove the wheel bolts.
Notice : Never use heat to loosen a tight wheel. It can
shorten the life of the wheel, the wheel nuts and the wheel
bearings. Excessive force, such as hammering the wheel
or tire, can also cause damage and is not recommended.
Slight tapping of the wheel sidewall with one’s hand or with
a rubber mallet is acceptable.
4. Remove the wheel.
Difficulty in removing the wheels from the vehicle can be
due to foreign material or to a tight fit between the wheel
centerhole and the hub or the rotor. These wheels can be
removed by
5. Retightening the wheel bolts on the affected wheel
and then loosening the wheel bolts by two turns.
6. Lowering the vehicle and rocking it from side to side
as hard as possible, using one or more person’s
body weight to loosen the wheel.
7. Raising the vehicle and removing the wheel.
CAUTION : Do not allow the penetrating oil to get on
the vertical surfaces between the wheel and the drum
(or rotor) because penetrating oil in this area could
cause the wheel to work loose as the vehicle is driven,
resulting in loss of control and an injury accident.
Penetrating oil is not effective in removing tight wheels. If
it is used, however, apply it sparingly and only to the
wheel’s centerhole area.
Installation Procedure
Notice : Before installing the wheels, remove any buildup
of corrosion on the wheel mounting surface and the brake
drum or the rotor mounting surface by scraping and brush-
ing them with a wire brush. Installing the wheels without
good metal–to–metal contact at the mounting surfaces
can cause the wheel nuts to loosen, which can later allow
a wheel to come off while the vehicle is moving. Wheel
bolts must be tightened in sequence and to the proper
torque to avoid bending the wheel, the brake drum or the
rotor.
1. Mount the wheel.
2. Install the wheel bolts in the sequence shown. Do
not tighten the wheel bolts.
3. Lower the vehicle.
Tighten
Tighten the wheel bolts to 100 NSm (74 lb–ft).

DAEWOO V–121 BL4
ON–VEHICLE BALANCING
On–vehicle balancing will help correct vibrations due to
brake drum, rotor, and wheel cover imbalances.
Notice : Do not allow the front suspension to hang free.
When the drive axle is run at an extreme angle, extra vibra-
tions can occur, as well as damage to seals and joints.
1. During on–vehicle balancing, do not remove the
balance weights from the off–vehicle dynamic bal-
ance.
2. If more than 1 ounce of additional weight is re-
quired, split the weight between the inner and the
outer rim flanges.
CAUTION : Do not spin the drive wheels faster than
55km/h (35 mph) as indicated by the speedometer.
This limit is necessary because the speedometer indi-
cates only one–half of the actual wheel speed when
one drive wheel is spinning and the other drive wheel
is stopped. Personal injury and damage may result
from high–speed spinning.
3. Spin the driven tire and wheel assemblies using the
engine.

DIAGNOSIS
LINING INSPECTION
1. Raise and suitably support the vehicle.
2. Remove the front wheels. Refer to Section 2E,
Tires and Wheels.
3. Visually check the linings for minimum thickness
and wear.
4. Measure the thickness.
Important : The minimum thickness of the inner or the
outer pad is 7 mm (0.28 inch).
5. Install the brake pads in axle sets only.
6. Install the front wheels. Refer to Section 2E, Tires
and Wheels.
7. Lower the vehicle.ROTOR INSPECTION
Thickness variation can be checked by measuring the
thickness of the rotor at four or more points around the cir-
cumference of the rotor. All measurements must be made
at the same distance in from the edge of the rotor.
A rotor that varies by more than 0.01 mm (0.0004 inch) can
cause pedal pulsations and/or front end vibration during
brake applications. A rotor that does not meet these speci-
fications should be refinished to specifications or re-
placed.

4D – 2IFRONT DISC BRAKES
DAEWOO V–121 BL4
During manufacturing, the brake rotor and the tolerances
of the braking surface regarding flatness, thickness varia-
tion, and lateral runout are held very close. The mainte-
nance of close tolerances on the shape of the braking sur-
faces is necessary to prevent brake roughness.
In addition to these tolerances, the surface finish must be
held to a specified range. The control of the braking sur-
face finish is necessary to avoid pulls and erratic perfor-
mance and to extend lining life.
Using a commercially available dial indicator, check lateral
runout as follows:
Notice : Permissible lateral runout is a maximum 0.03 mm
(0.0012 inch). If lateral runout exceeds the specification,
ensure that there is no dirt between the rotor and the hub
and that contact surfaces are smooth and free from burrs.
1. Position the shift lever in NEUTRAL.2. Remove the rotor. Refer to ”Rotor” in this section.
3. Fasten the brake rotor to the wheel hub with two
wheel bolts.
4. Fasten a dial indicator to the brake caliper.
5. Set the gauge probe tip to approximately 10 mm
(0.39 inch) from the outer edge of the brake rotor,
perpendicular to the disc and under slight preload.
6. Remove the dial indicator and the wheel bolts con-
necting the rotor to the hub.
Important : Since accurate control of the rotor tolerances
is necessary for proper performance of the disc brakes, re-
finishing of the rotor should be done only with precision
equipment.
7. Refinish the rotor, if required, with precision equip-
ment. Discard the rotor if it fails to meet the above
specifications after refinishing.
8. Install the rotor. Refer to ”Rotor” in this section.

Installation Procedure
1. Install the caliper assembly with the mounting bolts.
Tighten
Tighten the caliper–to–steering knuckle mounting
bolts to 95 NSm(70 lb–ft).
2. Connect the brake hose.
Tighten
Tighten the brake hose inlet fitting–to–caliper bolt and
washers to 40 NSm (30 lb–ft).
3. Install the front wheels. Refer to Section 2E, Tires
and Wheels.
4. Lower the vehicle.
5. Fill the master cylinder to the proper level with
clean brake fluid.
6. Bleed the caliper. Refer to Section 4A, Hydraulic
Brakes.
7. Recheck the fluid level.
Notice : Do not move the vehicle until a firm pedal is ob-
tained, or improper braking action will result.
8. Repeatedly press the brake pedal to bring the pads
in contact with the rotor.
ROTOR
Removal Procedure
Notice : Do not hang the caliper assembly from the brake
hose. Any resulting internal hose restriction will impede
uniform braking action.
Important : To guarantee uniform braking on both sides,
both rotors must have identical surfaces regarding
smoothness and scoring depth. For this reason, always
replace both rotors.
1. Remove the caliper assembly without disconnecting
the brake hoses. Refer to ”Caliper Assembly” in this
section.
2. Remove the rotor–to–front wheel hub detent
screws.
3. Pull off the rotor.
Installation Procedure
1. Inspect the rotor. Refer to ”Rotor Inspection”in this
section.
2. Install the rotor to the front wheel hub by tightening
the detent screw.
Tighten
Tighten the rotor–to–front wheel hub detent screw to
4 NSm (35 lb–in).
3. Install the caliper assembly. Refer to ”Caliper As-
sembly” in this section.
