- Remove the caliper support; then raise the caliper assembly upward and secure it with a wire.
- Inspect the disc surface for grooves, cracks and rust. Clean the disc thoroughly and remove all rust.
- Place a dial gauge approximately 5 mm (0.2 inch) from the outer circumference of the brake disc, and measure the run-out of the disc.
Limit: 0.06 mm (0.002 inch)
- If the run-out of the brake disc is limit value or more, turn rotor with an on-car type brake lathe ("Accuturn-8750" or equivalent). If it still exceeds the limit, inspect hub end play.
Limit: 0.05 mm (0.002 inch)
- If the play exceeds the limit, check the hub. If the play does not exceed the limit, replace the brake disc.
