Brake Rotor Thickness
If There Is Abrasion Both Brake Rotors on Both Sides of the Axle Must Always Be Replaced.
- Clean the brake rotor before determining the wear.
- The brake rotor vent holes must be free of brake dust and dirt. It may be necessary to use a suitable tool to carefully clean the holes. Do not use any force when doing so.
Health Risk.
Always wear a mouth and nose mask when using compressed air to clean the ceramic brake rotor.
-- Clean the brake rotors thoroughly with compressed air between the cooling channels and the vent holes.
-- To determine brake rotor wear:
- 1. Refer to BRAKE ROTOR THICKNESS, CHECKING FOR WEAR
- 2. Refer to WEAR INDICATORS, CHECKING
- 3. Refer to BRAKE ROTOR, WEIGHING .
Depending on the version, the minimum weight of the brake rotor is stamped on the brake rotor cup.
- Refer to BRAKE ROTOR THICKNESS, CHECKING, WITH STAMPED MINIMUM WEIGHT
- Refer to BRAKE ROTOR THICKNESS, DETERMINING BY WEIGHING, WITH STAMPED MINIMUM WEIGHT

Additional checking:
Risk of accident due to insufficient braking effect.
Ceramic brakes should be replaced when, one of the defined wear limits is reached. The brake rotor can no longer be driven.
Risk of accident due to uneven braking.
If there is abrasion always replace the brake rotors on both sides of the axle.
Brake pads likewise must be replaced on both sides of the axle.
