  2. INSPECT DISC RUNOUT 
    1. Temporarily install the front disc with hub nuts.

      Torque: 103 N*m (1,050 kgf*cm, 76 ft.*lbf) 

    2. Using a dial indicator, measure the disc runout 10 mm (0.39 in.) away from the outer edge of the front disc.

      Maximum disc runout: 

      0.05 mm (0.0020 in.)

    3. If the disc runout is greater than the maximum value, check the bearing play in the axial direction and check the axle hub runout (See ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION ). If the bearing looseness and axle hub runout are normal, adjust the disc to find the position where the disc has the minimum runout. When the disc is still unadjustable, grind it on an "On-car" brake lathe. In case the disc is too thin and ungrindable, try with a new disc.
  3. TEMPORARILY TIGHTEN FRONT DISC BRAKE BLEEDER PLUG 
    1. Temporarily tighten the front disc brake bleeder plug to the disc brake cylinder sub-assembly.
  4. INSTALL FRONT DISC BRAKE BLEEDER PLUG CAP 
    1. Install the bleeder plug cap to the front disc brake bleeder plug.
  5. INSTALL PISTON SEAL 
    1. Apply lithium soap base glycol grease to a new piston seal.
    2. Install the piston seal to the disc brake cylinder assembly.
  6. INSTALL FRONT DISC BRAKE PISTON 
    1. Apply lithium soap base glycol grease to the piston and a new cylinder boot.
