DISC BRAKE ROTOR CHECK

M1351002900099

CAUTION
Disc brakes must be kept within the allowable
service values in order to maintain normal brake
operation.
Before turning the brake disc, the following condi-
tions should be checked.
INSPECTION ITEMS REMARKS
Scratches, rust, saturated lining materials and wear • If the vehicle is not driven for a long period of
time, sections of the discs that are not in contact
with the pads will become rusty, causing noise
and shuddering.
• If grooves and scratches resulting from excessive
disc wear are not removed prior to installing a new
pad assembly, there will be inadequate contact
between the disc and the lining (pad) until the
pads conform to the disc.
Run-out Excessive run-out of the discs will increase the pedal

cardiagn.com
depression resistance due to piston kick-back.
Change in thickness (parallelism) If the thickness of the disc changes, this will cause
pedal pulsation, shuddering and surging.
Inset or warping (flatness) Overheating and improper handling while servicing
will cause warping or distortion.

BRAKE DISC THICKNESS CHECK

M1351002400243
.

1. Using a micrometer, measure disc thickness at eight

positions, approximately 45 degrees apart and 10 mm (0.4
inch) in from the outer edge of the disc.
Standard value: 24.0 mm (0.9 inch)
Minimum limit: 22.4 mm (0.88 inch)
NOTE: Thickness variation (at least 8 positions) should not
be more than 0.015 mm (0.0006 inch).
2. If the disc thickness is less than the limits, replace it with a

CAUTION
Do not use a flat-tipped screwdriver or similar tool to
remove piston seal. These may damage the inner side of
the cylinder.
1. Remove the piston seal with your finger tip.
2. Clean the piston surface and inner cylinder with alcohol or
brake fluid DOT 3 or DOT 4.

ACX00689

INSPECTION
M1351006300237
• Check the cylinder for wear, damage or rust.
• Check the piston surface for wear, damage or rust.
• Check the caliper body or sleeve for wear.
• Check the pad for damage or adhesion of grease, check the
backing metal for damage.

FRONT DISC BRAKE ASSEMBLY

PAD WEAR CHECK

WARNING
• Always replace both brake pads on each wheel as
a set (both front wheels or both rear wheels). Fail-
ure to do so will result in uneven braking, which
may cause unreliable brake operation.
• If there is significant difference in the thickness of
the pads on the left and right sides, check the slid-
ing condition of the piston and slide pins.
Measure thickness at the thinnest and most worn area of the
pad.
Replace the pad assembly if pad thickness is less than the limit
value.
Standard value: 10 mm (0.39 inch)
Minimum limit: 2.0 mm (0.08 inch)
