2008 Cadillac SRX Brake Pad Set

You should inspect the fluid level in the brake master cylinder reservoir, raise and support the vehicle, remove the tire and wheel assembly, and install a large C-clamp over the body of the brake caliper, tighten the C-clamp evenly until the caliper pistons are compressed into the caliper bores enough to allow the caliper to slide past the brake rotor, remove the C-clamp from the caliper, loosen the brake caliper lower pin bolt, remove the brake caliper pin bolt, pivot the brake caliper body upward, secure the caliper out of the way with heavy mechanic's wire or equivalent and remove the brake pads from the caliper bracket and the brake pad retainers from the caliper bracket.

You should road test a vehicle under safe conditions and while obeying all traffic laws, avoid attempting any maneuvers that could jeopardize vehicle control, select a smooth road with little or no traffic, accelerate the vehicle to 48 km/h (30 mph), use care to avoid overheating the brakes while performing this step, use moderate to firm pressure, apply the brakes to bring the vehicle to a stop, repeat steps until approximately 20 stops have been completed and allow sufficient cooling periods between stops to properly burnish the brake pads and rotors.
