  3. 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) 

  4. 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) 

  5. If the play exceeds the limit, check the hub. If the play does not exceed the limit, replace the brake disc.
