Rear Disc Brake Inspection

Inspect the brake pads for wear and discoloration.

Inspect the brake disc for damage and cracks.

Remove all rust and contamination from the surface and measure the disc thickness at 8 points, at least at equal distances (5 mm) from the outer edge of the brake disc. Rear brake disc thickness Standard: 11 mm (0.43 in) Service limit: 9.4 mm (0.37 in) Runout: Less than 0.005 mm (0.0002 in)

If wear exceeds the limit, replace the discs and pads as a set on both the left and right sides of the vehicle.

Check the pad wear. Measure the pad thickness and replace the pad if it is less than the specified value. Pad thickness Standard value: 10 mm (0.393 in) Service limit: 2.0 mm (0.0787 in)

Make sure that grease is applied to the sliding contact points and that the pad and backing plate are free of damage.

Position the 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: 0.03 mm (0.00118 in.) or less (new)

If the brake disc runout exceeds the specification limit, replace the disc, then measure the runout again.

If the runout exceeds the specification limit, reinstall the brake disc by rotating it 180°, then check the brake disc runout again.

If the runout cannot be corrected by changing the position of the brake disc, replace the brake disc.
