IMPORTANT:
If new rotors are required index them to the hub (see Rotor Indexing).
C.
Resurface both rear rotors using the Pro-Cut(TM) PFM Series On-Car Brake Lathe.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
^
The on-car brake lathe is more effective in reducing brake rotor runout than the conventional off-car lathe method.
^
You must use the Pro-Cut(TM) PFM Series brake lathe. It is an Essential Tool and can be ordered from Nissan TECH-MATE.
^
While using the on-car brake lathe place a jack or jack stand under the bumper support bar or trailer hitch to stabilize the vehicle.
^
Stabilizing the vehicle will prevent vehicle wobble that may affect the final rotor runout.
^
Each line on the cut-depth knob moves the cutting tip 0.002 (0.05 mm).
>
For the best surface finish and the longest tip life, cut 0.004 in (0.1 mm) on each side with each pass.
>
Do Not make cuts of less then 0.004 in (0.1 mm) per side unless absolutely necessary.
>
Rotate cutting tips after 7 cuts. Mark the tips so you can tell which tips have been used. Replace the entire bit after all 3 tips (corners) have
been used (total of 21 cuts).
>
See the Pro-Cut(TM) operation manual for additional information.
^
When using the on-car brake lathe you must prevent metal shavings from contacting or collecting on the ABS speed sensors or collecting in the
rear parking brake drums.
^
Remove any shavings that stick to an ABS speed sensor magnet or collect in a parking brake drum. It is best to clean an ABS sensor or parking
brake drum with the rotor removed.
^
If the rotor must be removed for any reason mark the exact location (rotor to axle hub) before removing the rotor (see Figure A). The rotor
must be reinstalled back to the same location.
^
Do not tighten the wheel lug nuts with an air impact driver. Uneven or high torque applied to the lugs may distort (warp) the brake rotor and
hub. This may result in increased rotor runout and excessive rotor thickness variation as the rotor wears.
^
Always use a torque wrench to tighten the wheel lug nuts to the proper torque specification.
D.
After the rotors have been resurfaced:
^
Recheck the rotor thickness. Specification: 12 mm (0.472 in.) minimum thickness.
^
Recheck the rotor runout:
