2012 - 2017 Chevrolet Sonic Front Disc Brake Maintenance Overhaul (OEM Pads, Springs & Rotors)

In this DIY maintenance video we go thru using genuine GM service procedures and parts to overhaul and rebuild the front disc brakes on the Chevrolet Sonic.

The vehicle illustrated is a 2015 Chevrolet Sonic LT sedan but the procedures and OEM part number information is applicable to any Chevrolet Sonic from model year 2012 thru 2017. Some of this information can be applicable to 2018 thru 2020 as well. And some of this information would also be applicable to the Holden Barina, which is the branding GM used in the Australia market for this same vehicle model.
