ION L4-2.2L VIN F (2004)
Caution: Refer to Brake Dust Caution in Service Precautions.
Important:
-
Brake rotor thickness variation MUST be checked BEFORE checking for assembled Lateral Runout (LRO). Thickness variation exceeding the
maximum acceptable level can cause brake pulsation.
-
Brake rotor assembled Lateral Runout (LRO) exceeding the maximum allowable specification can cause thickness variation to develop in the
brake rotor over time, usually between 4,800 - 11,300 km (3,000 - 7,000 mi).
1. Remove the J 45101- 100 and the lug nuts that were installed during the assembled LRO measurement procedure.
2. Inspect the mating surface of the hub/axle flange and the brake rotor to ensure that there are no foreign particles or debris remaining.
3. Index the brake rotor in a different orientation to the hub/axle flange.
4. Hold the rotor firmly in place against the hub/axle flange and install one of the J 45101-100 (1) and one lug nut (2) onto the upper-most wheel
stud.
5. Continue to hold the rotor secure and tighten the lug nut firmly by hand.
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.
8. Measure the assembled LRO of the brake rotor.
9. Compare the amount of change between this measurement and the original measurement.
10. If this measurement is within specifications, proceed to step 14.
11. If this measurement still exceeds specifications, repeat steps 1-9 until the best assembled LRO measurement is obtained.
12. Matchmark the final location of the rotor to the wheel studs if the orientation is different than it was originally.
13. If the brake rotor assembled LRO measurement still exceeds the maximum allowable specification, refer to Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral
Runout (LRO) Correction.
14. If the brake rotor assembled LRO is within specification, install the brake caliper and depress the brake pedal several times to secure the rotor in
place before removing the J45101-100 and the lug nuts.
