Brake Rotor/Disc: Testing and Inspection
CAUTION: Disc brakes must be kept within the allowable service values in order to maintain normal brake operation.
Before turning the brake disc, the following conditions should be checked.
FRONT DISC BRAKE RUN-OUT CHECK AND CORRECTION
1. Remove the caliper support; then raise the caliper assembly upward and secure it with a wire.
2. Inspect the disc surface for grooves, cracks and rust. Clean the disc thoroughly and remove all rust.
3. Place a dial gauge approximately 5 mm (0.2 inch) from the outer circumference of the brake disc, and measure the runout of the disc.
Limit: 0.06 mm (0.002 inch)
4. If the run-out of the brake disc is limit value or more, turn rotor with an on-car type brake lathe ("Accuturn-8750" or equivalent). If it still exceeds
the limit, inspect hub end play.
Limit: 0.05 mm (0.002 inch)
5. If the play exceeds the limit, check the hub. If the play does not exceed the limit, replace the brake disc.
