Inspection

FRONT BRAKE DISC THICKNESS INSPECTION
  1. Inspect the brake pads for wear and discoloration.
  2. Inspect the brake disc for damage and cracks.
  3. Remove all rust and contamination from the surface, then measure the disc thickness at at least 8 points located at the same distance (5 mm) from the outer edge of the brake disc. Front brake disc thickness - Standard: 25 mm (0.98 in) - Service limit: 23.4 mm (0.92 in) - Variation: less than 0.005 mm (0.0002 in)
  4. If wear exceeds the limit, replace the disc/pad assembly of both the left and right sides of the vehicle.
  5. Check pad wear. Measure the pad thickness, and if it is less than specified, replace the pads. Pad thickness - Standard: 11 mm (0.43 in) - Service limit: 2.0 mm (0.0787 in)
  6. Check that grease is applied to the sliding contact points and that the brake pad and backing plate are not damaged.
  7. Place a dial indicator approximately 5 mm (0.2 in) from the outer edge of the brake disc and measure the disc runout. Brake disc runout - Limit: 0.04 mm (0.00157 in) or less (new part)
  8. If disc runout exceeds the maximum specified value, replace the disc, then measure the runout again.
  9. If the out-of-round condition does not exceed the usable limit, rotate the disc 180° and check the runout again.
  10. If changing the position does not eliminate the out-of-round condition of the brake disc, replace the brake disc.
