Disc Brake System: Testing and Inspection

1. Raise vehicle on hoist.
2. Remove the wheel and tire from the wheel hub and front disc brake rotor.





3. Inspect brake lining for wear. If the lining is worn to within 1 mm (0.03937 inch) of the rivets or backing plate, replace all four brake lining assemblies (complete axle set). The rubber caliper insulators and the plastic sleeves (if equipped) must be replaced when linings are replaced.
4. Visually check the disc brake caliper. If the caliper housing is leaking, it should be replaced. If a seal is leaking, the disc brake caliper must be disassembled and new seals installed. If a caliper piston is seized in the bore, a new caliper housing is required.
5. Install wheel and tire assembly.
6. Lower vehicle.
