6. Install the remaining J 45101-100 and lug nuts onto the wheel studs and tighten the nuts firmly by hand in a star-pattern.
7. Using the J 39544-KIT , or equivalent, tighten the lug nuts in a star-pattern to specification, in order to properly secure the rotor. Refer to Tire and
Wheel Removal and Installation .
8. If the brake rotor has been REFINISHED or REPLACED with a new rotor, proceed to step 14.
9. If the brake rotor meets the following criteria, proceed to step 10.

surface at a 90 degree angle, approximately 13 mm (0.5 in) from the outer edge of the rotor.
11. Measure and record the assembled LRO of the brake rotor.
1. Rotate the rotor until the lowest reading is displayed on the indicator dial, then set the dial to zero.
2. Rotate the rotor until the highest reading is displayed on the dial.
3. Mark the location of the high spot relative to the nearest wheel stud, or studs.
4. Measure and record the amount of LRO.
