and cracks. |
| 3. |
Remove all rust and contamination
from the surface, and measure the disc thickness at 8 points, at least,
of same distance (5mm) from the brake disc outer circle.

Front brake disc runout check
| 1. |
Place a dial gauge about 5mm
(0.2 in.) from the outer circumference of the brake disc, and measure the
runout of the disc.
Brake disc runoutLimit:
0.04 mm (0.0016 in.) or less (new one)
|
|
| 2. |
If the runout of the brake disc
exceeds the limit specification, replace the disc, and then measure the
runout again. |
| 3. |
If the runout does not exceed
the limit specification, install the brake disc after turning it 180° and
then check the runout of the brake disc again. |

If the runout cannot be corrected
by changing the position of the brake disc, replace the brake disc. |
