Brake Pad: Testing and Inspection
Inspect the brake linings every 9654 km (6,000 miles) and any time that the wheels are removed (tire rotation etc.). Check both ends of the outer pad by looking in at each end of the caliper. These are the points at which the highest rate of wear normally occurs. At the same time check the lining thickness on the inner pad to make sure that it has not worn prematurely. Some inboard
brake pads have a thermal layer against the pad integrally molded with the lining. This extra layer should not be confused with uneven inboard-outboard lining wear. Look down through the inspection hole in the top of the caliper to view the inner pad. Replace disc brake pads whenever the thickness of any lining is wont to within
0.76 mm (0.030 inch) of the pad. In the case of riveted brake pads replace when the lining is worn to within
0.76 mm (0.030 inch) of any rivet head. Replace all disc brake pads at the same time.
