Rear Brake (Disc) Inspection

REAR BRAKE (DISC) INSPECTION

Inspection and repair procedure





Lateral runout inspection
1. To secure the disc plate and the hub, insert the washer (thickness 10 mm (0.39 in), inner diameter more than 12 mm (0.47 in)) between each hub bolt and the hub nut, then tighten all the hub nuts.

Note
^ The component parts of the SST (49 8017 001 or 49 G019 003) can be used as a suitable washer.





2. After tightening all the hub nuts to the same torque, put the dial gauge on the friction surface of the disc plate 10 mm (0.39 in) from the disc plate edge.
3. Rotate the disc plate one time and measure the runout.

Rear disc plate runout limit
0.05 mm (0.002 in)

Thickness variation inspection
1. Clean the disc plate-to-pad friction surface using a brake cleaner.





2. Measure the points indicated in the illustration using a caliper (micrometer).
3. Subtract the minimum value from the maximum, and if the result is not within the specification, machine the disc plate using a lathe.

Thickness variation limit
0.015 mm (0.00059 in)

Warning
^ Do not exceed minimum disc plate thickness.
