Brake Rotor/Disc: Testing and Inspection
Rear Disc Brake Rotor
Rear Brake Disc Inspection
Runout
1. Raise the rear of the vehicle, and support it with safety stands in the proper locations.
2. Remove the brake pads.
3. Inspect the brake disc surface for damage and cracks. Clean the brake disc thoroughly, and remove all rust.
4. Use wheel nuts and suitable flat washers (A) to hold the disc securely against the hub, then mount a dial indicator (B) as shown, and measure the
runout at 10 mm (3/8 inch) from the outer edge of the disc.
5. If the brake disc is beyond the service limit, refinish the brake disc with an on-car brake lathe. The Kwik Lathe produced by Kwik-way
Manufacturing Co. and the "Front Brake Disc Lathe" offered by Snap-on Tools Co. are approved for this operation.
Maximum refinishing limit: 10.0 mm (3/8 inch)
NOTE:
^
If the brake disc is beyond the service limit for refinishing, replace it.
^
A new disc should be refinished if its runout is greater than 0.10 mm (0.004 inch).
Thickness and Parallelism
1. Loosen the rear wheel nuts slightly, then raise the vehicle, and support it with safety stands in the proper locations. Remove the rear wheels.
2. Remove the brake pads.
3. Using a micrometer (A), measure disc thickness at eight points, approximately 45° apart and 10 mm (3/8 inch) in from the outer edge of the
brake disc. Replace the brake disc if the smallest measurement is less than the maximum refinishing limit.
NOTE: This is the maximum allowable difference between the thickness measurements.
