HINT:

  1. INSTALL FRONT DISC 
    1. Align matchmarks on the disc and the axle hub. Install the front disc.
      NOTE: When installing a new disc, select the position where the disc has the minimum runout.
  2. INSPECT DISC RUNOUT 
    1. Check the looseness of the front wheel bearing and runout in the axle hub before inspecting the disc runout (see ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION ).
    2. Hold the front disc with the 3 hub nuts.

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

      Maximum disc runout: 0.05 mm (0.0020 in.) 

      NOTE: If the runout exceeds the maximum value, change the installation positions of the disc and axle so that the runout will become minimal. If the runout exceeds even when the installation positions are changed or if disc thickness does not exceed the limit, shave the disc. If disc thickness exceeds the limit, replace the disc.
