Front Brake Disc Inspection
Runout
1. Raise the front of the vehicle, and support it with safety stands in the proper locations. See: Maintenance/Vehicle Lifting/Service and Repair
2. Remove the front wheels.
3. Remove the brake pads. See: Brake Pad/Service and Repair/Front Brake Pad Inspection and Replacement
4. Inspect the brake disc surface for damage and cracks. Clean the brake disc thoroughly, and remove all rust.
5. Install suitable flat washers (A) and wheel nuts, and tighten the nuts to the specified torque to hold the brake disc securely against the hub.
6. Set up the dial gauge against the brake disc as shown, and measure the runout at 10 mm (3/8 in.) from the outer edge of the brake disc.
7. If the brake disc is beyond the service limit for runout, refinish the brake disc with a Honda-approved commercially available on-car brake lathe.
Thickness and Parallelism
1. Raise the front of the vehicle, and support it with safety stands in the proper locations. See: Maintenance/Vehicle Lifting/Service and Repair
2. Remove the front wheels.
3. Remove the brake pads. See: Brake Pad/Service and Repair/Front Brake Pad Inspection and Replacement
4. Using a micrometer, measure brake disc thickness at eight points, approximately 45 ° apart and 10 mm (3/8 in.) in from the outer edge of the brake
disc. Replace the brake disc if the smallest measurement is less than the max. refinishing limit.
NOTE: This is the maximum allowable difference between the thickness measurements.
5. If the smallest measurement is less than the max. refinishing limit, replace the brake disc. See: Service and Repair/Front Brake Disc Replacement
6. If the brake disc is beyond the service limit for parallelism, refinish the brake disc with a Honda-approved commercially available on-car brake
