Terraza FWD V6-3.5L VIN 8 (2005)
acceptable level can cause brake pulsation. Refer to Brake Rotor Thickness Variation Measurement.
1.
Matchmark the position of the brake rotor to the wheel studs if this has not been done already.
Important:
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 LRO of the brake rotor, which could lead to brake
pulsation.
2.
Inspect the mating surface of the hub/axle flange and the brake rotor to ensure that there are no foreign particles, corrosion, rust, or debris
remaining. If the wheel hub/axle flange and/or if the brake rotor mating surfaces exhibit these conditions, perform the following steps:
^
Remove the brake rotor from the vehicle.
^
Using the J-42450-A ,thoroughly clean any rust or corrosion from the mating surface of the hub/axle flange.
^
Using the J-41013, thoroughly clean any rust or corrosion from the mating surface of the brake rotor.
^
Clean the friction surfaces of the brake rotor with denatured alcohol, or an equivalent approved brake cleaner.
3.
Install the rotor to the hub/axle flange using the matchmark made prior to removal.
4.
Hold the rotor firmly in place against the hub/axle flange and install one of the J-45101-100 (1), and one lug nut (2) onto the upper-most wheel
stud.
5.
Continue to hold the rotor secure and tighten the lug nut firmly by hand.
6.
Install the remaining J-45101-100 and lug nuts onto the wheel studs and tighten the nuts firmly by hand in a star-pattern.
7.
Using the J-39544-KIT, or equivalent, tighten the lug nuts in a star-pattern to specification, in order to properly secure the rotor. Refer to Tire and
Wheel Removal and Installation in Tires and Wheels.
8.
If the brake rotor has been REFINISHED or REPLACED with a new rotor, proceed to step 14.
9.
If the brake rotor meets the following criteria, proceed to step 10.
^
The rotor is within specifications and is being REUSED.
^
The rotor has NOT been refinished.
^
The rotor does NOT exhibit thickness variation exceeding the maximum allowable level.
10.
Mount a dial indicator, J-45101, or equivalent, to the steering knuckle and position the indicator button so it contacts the brake rotor friction
surface at a 90 degree angle, approximately 13 mm (0.5 in) from the outer edge of the rotor.
11.
Measure and record the assembled LRO of the brake rotor.
^
Rotate the rotor until the lowest reading is displayed on the indicator dial, then set the dial to zero.
^
Rotate the rotor until the highest reading is displayed on the dial.
^
Mark the location of the high spot relative to the nearest wheel stud, or studs.
^
Measure and record the amount of LRO.
12.
Compare the brake rotor assembled LRO to the following specification:
Specification
Rear brake rotor maximum allowable assembled lateral runout: 0.06 mm (0.002 in)
13.
If the brake rotor assembled LRO is within specifications, proceed to step 18. If the brake rotor assembled LRO exceeds the specification, refinish
the rotor to ensure true parallelism, refer to Brake Rotor Refinishing After refinishing the rotor, proceed to step 14.
14.
Mount a dial indicator, J-45101, or equivalent, to the steering knuckle and position the indicator button so it contacts the brake rotor friction
surface at a 90 degree angle, approximately 13 mm (0.5 in) from the outer edge of the rotor.
