Brake Rotor/Disc: Service and Repair
Refinishing Brake Rotors
Front
Refinishing Brake Rotors
CHECK TOLERANCES
Accurate control of the rotor tolerances is necessary for proper performance of the disc brakes. Machining of the rotor should be done only with
precision equipment. All brake rotors have a minimum thickness dimension cast into them. This is the minimum wear and not a refinish
specification. The minimum wear is 24.60 mm (0.969 in). The minimum refinish limit is 24.97 mm (0.983 in).
PROPER TOOLS & EQUIPMENT
When refinishing rotors, always use sharp cutting tools or bits. Dull or worn tools leave a poor surface finish which will affect initial braking
performance. Vibration dampening attachments should always be used when refinishing braking surfaces. These attachments eliminate tool chatter
and will result in better surface finish.
NOTE: After refinishing, replace any rotor that exceeds a minimum thickness of 24.97 mm (0.983 in). Do not use a brake rotor that will not meet
the specification.

CHECK TOLERANCES
Accurate control of the rotor tolerances is necessary for proper performance of the disc brakes. Machining of the rotor should be done only with
precision equipment. All brake rotors have a minimum thickness dimension cast into them. This dimension is the minimum wear dimension and
not a refinish dimension. The minimum wear dimension is 16.6 mm (0.654 in). The minimum refinish dimension is 16.97 mm (0.668 in).
