Brake Rotor/Disc: Testing and Inspection
Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral Runout Correction - Indexing
Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral Runout Correction - Indexing
Tools Required
*
J 39544-KIT Torque-Limiting Socket Set, or equivalent
*
J 45101-100 Conical Brake Rotor Washers
Caution: Refer to Brake Dust Caution (See: Service Precautions/Technician Safety Information/Brake Dust Caution) .
Important:
*
Brake rotor thickness variation MUST be checked BEFORE checking for assembled lateral runout (LRO). Thickness variation exceeding
the maximum acceptable level can cause brake pulsation. Refer to Brake Rotor Thickness Variation Measurement (See: Brake Rotor
Thickness Variation Measurement) .
*
Brake rotor assembled LRO exceeding the maximum allowable specification can cause thickness variation to develop in the brake rotor
over time, usually between 4 800-11 300 km (3,000-7,000 mi). Refer to Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral Runout Measurement (See: Brake
Rotor Assembled Lateral Runout Measurement) .
1. Remove the J 45101-100 and the lug nuts that were installed during the assembled LRO measurement procedure.
2. Inspect the mating surface of the hub/axle flange and the brake rotor to ensure that there are no foreign particles or debris remaining.
3. Index the brake rotor in a different orientation to the hub/axle flange.
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.
