Inspection |
Front brake disc thickness check
1. |
Check the brake pads for wear and fade. |
2. |
Check the brake disc for damage and cracks. |
3. |
Remove all rust and contamination from the surface, and measure the disc thickness at 8 points, at least, at the same distance (5mm) apart from the brake disc outer circle.
|
4. |
If wear exceeds the limit, replace the discs and pad assembly left and right of the vehicle. |
Front Brake Pad Check
1. |
Check the pad wear. Measure the pad thickness and replace it, if it is less than the specified value.
|
2. |
Check that grease is applied to sliding contact points and check the pad and backing metal for damage.
|
Front brake disc runout check
1. |
Place a dial gauge about 5mm (0.2 in.) from the outer circumference of the brake disc, and measure the runout of the disc.
|
2. |
If the runout of the brake disc exceeds the limit specification, replace the disc, and then measure the runout again. |
3. |
If the runout does not exceed the limit specification, install the brake disc after turning it 180° and then check the brake disc again for runout. |
4. |
If the runout cannot be corrected by changing the position of the brake disc, replace the brake disc. |
Installation |
1. |
Install in the reverse order of removal. |
2. |
Use the SST (09581-11000) when installing the brake caliper assembly.
