Check the brake disc for damage and cracks.
|
| 3. |
Remove all rust and contamination from the surface, and measure
the disc thickness at 8 points, at least, of same distance (5mm) from
the brake disc outer circle.

If wear exceeds the limit, replace the discs and pad assembly
left and right of the vehicle.

Check the pad wear. Measure the pad thickness and replace it,
if it is less than the specified value.

Check that grease is applied, to sliding contact points and the
pad and backing metal for damage.

| 2. |
If the runout of the brake disc exceeds the limit specification,
replace the disc, and then measure the runout again.

| 3. |
If the runout does not exceed the limit specification, install
the brake disc after turning it 180° and then check the runout of the
brake disc again.
