Item 12 you just remove it from your stock suspesion and transfer to the new suspension.
To removal of the suspension remove the the (6) number 16 bolts.. ( of course you must disconnect you hydraulic lines, disconnect shocks, coil springs, and remove the harness for the ABS brakes (if you have them)...
You will also need to remove and replace your emergency brake cables...
(Again use Cobalt parts..)
Before remove the hydraulic lines you must decide what hoses your going to use stock or steel braided, then make sure you have all the hoses and fittings..
Pretty straight forward in removal and replacement.. I had no issues with the reinstall.

So the Cobalt discs ARE slotted and drilled? Cool. I didn't think anything less than the Corvette had those.
Pretty amazing how the whole axle beam has to be replaced to fit up the disc brakes. It would have been nice to have independent strut suspension back there.

Disc Brak Conversion
I had my HHR in for 10,000 mi service on Monday and I aksed the service manager if it was possible to have them install the rear disc brake conversion on my '07 HHR. His reply: "No. We can't install anything but parts used to build the car." I asked if I ordered the parts and installed them, what would that do to the warranty. His reply: "Anything that is different than how the car was built voids the warranty."

To each their own..
I just know I have the first All Disc Panel, and with rotors the HHR SS doesn't have... And most of the major parts are GM....

The rear axle is the same except for the caliper mounts for the disc brake assembly on the Cobalt SS. The Delta architecture varies a little bit from model to model, with the exception of the G5 and Cobalt, which are identical.
