Rear Disc Pads: Inspection

  1. Clean brake pad contact surfaces in brake caliper and on caliper mounting.
  2. Check piston dirt guard. If dirt guard looks worn, replace it as a precautionary measure. If dirt guard is damaged, overhaul brake caliper. See BRAKE CALIPER  under OVERHAUL.
  3. Check brake disc friction surface.
  4. If brake disc shows signs of being skew, check its lateral run-out. See MEASURING DISC BRAKE LATERAL RUN-OUT  under SERVICING.
  5. If brake disc shows signs of major wear, variations in thickness, etc., replace it. See BRAKE SPECIFICATIONS .
  6. Press pistons back with a poly-grip. Take care to avoid damaging dirt guard.
  7. Check that dirt guard is positioned properly.
