10. Remove the 4 insulators (3) and the 2 wear indicators (2) from the 2 brake pads (1).
Inspection Procedure
1. Inspect the brake pads. If replacement is necessary, replace the disc brake pads in axle sets. Refer to Brake Pad Inspection (See: Testing and
Inspection).
2. Clean and inspect the disc brake hardware. Replace components if necessary. Refer to Front Disc Brake Mounting and Hardware Inspection (See:
Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/Front Disc Brake Mounting and Hardware Inspection).
3. Clean and inspect the caliper. Repair or replace components as necessary. Refer to Brake Caliper Inspection (See: Brake Caliper/Testing and
Inspection).
Note: Refinish or replace the rotor ONLY if the condition of the rotor requires service. DO NOT refinish the rotor if the brake pads are the only
components requiring service.
4. Measure the brake rotor thickness. Refinish or replace the rotor as necessary. Refer to Brake Rotor Thickness Measurement (See: Brake
Rotor/Disc/Testing and Inspection/Brake Rotor Thickness Measurement).
5. Measure the brake rotor thickness variation. Refinish or replace the rotor as necessary. Refer to Brake Rotor Thickness Variation Measurement (
See: Brake Rotor/Disc/Testing and Inspection/Brake Rotor Thickness Variation Measurement).
6. Inspect the surface of the brake rotor. Refinish or replace the rotor as necessary. Refer to Brake Rotor Surface and Wear Inspection (See: Brake
Rotor/Disc/Testing and Inspection/Brake Rotor Surface and Wear Inspection).
7. Measure the brake rotor assembled lateral runout. Refinish or replace the rotor as necessary. Refer to Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral Runout
Measurement (See: Brake Rotor/Disc/Testing and Inspection/Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral Runout Measurement).
