MAINTENANCE
BRAKE PADS, CALIPERS AND DISCS
1. With front road wheels removed, check brake
pad thickness and ensure that both pads are
wearing evenly.
2. Check brake discs for signs of cracking,
excessive scoring or oil contamination.
NOTE: Any requirement to replace brake
pads or brake disc should be advised to
the customer as this will incur additional
labour and/or material cost and should not be
carried out without the authorisation of the
customer.
3. Check for any signs of brake fluid leakage from
caliper seals, hoses or unions.
4. Using brake cleaner, remove excessive deposits
of brake dust from pads, calipers and disc
shields.
