Fig. 90 Rear Brake Rotor Minimum Thickness Markings
NOTE: All rotors have markings for minimum allowable thickness cast on an un-machined surface of the rotor (Fig. 89) (Fig. 90). Minimum
thickness specifications can also be found in the specification table.
Minimum allowable thickness is the minimum thickness which the brake rotor machined surface may be cut to.
CAUTION: Do not machine the rotor if it will cause the rotor to fall below minimum thickness.
Before installation, verify the brake rotor face and the hub adapters are free of any chips, rust, or contamination.
When mounting and using the brake lathe, strict attention to the brake lathe manufacturer's operating instructions is required.
Machine both sides of the brake rotor at the same time. Cutting both sides at the same time minimizes the possibility of a tapered or uneven cut.
When refacing a rotor, the required TIR (Total Indicator Reading) and thickness variation limits MUST BE MAINTAINED. Extreme care in the
operation of rotor turning equipment is required. Specifications for brake rotor machining can be found in specification table.
