WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Cadillac STS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: Whenever the brake rotor has been separated from the hub/axle flange, any rust or contaminants should be cleaned from the hub/axle flange and the brake rotor mating surfaces. Failure to do this may result in excessive assembled lateral runout (LRO) of the brake rotor, which could lead to brake pulsation.

Using the J 42450-A , thoroughly clean any rust or corrosion from the mating surface of the hub/axle flange. See Special Tools .
Using the J 41013 , thoroughly clean any rust or corrosion from the mating surface and mounting surface of the brake rotor. See Special Tools .
Inspect the mating surfaces of the hub/axle flange and the rotor to ensure that there are no foreign particles or debris remaining.
Install the brake rotor to the hub/axle flange. Use the matchmark made prior to removal for proper orientation to the flange.
