CAUTION : Do not install brake discs that are less than the minimum thickness specified. Do not machine a brake disc below the minimum thickness specification.
- Check wheel bearing end-play and correct as necessary.
- Remove the tire and wheel.
NOTE : Begin at the front of the vehicle unless the vibration has been isolated to the rear.
- Remove the brake caliper.
- Inspect the brake linings. Install new brake linings if below specification.
- Measure and record the brake disc thickness. Install a new brake disc if the thickness after machining will be at or below specification. The specification is stamped on the brake disc. Do not machine a new brake disc.
- For vehicles with a two-piece hub and brake disc assembly:
- Match-mark before disassembly.
- Remove the brake disc.
- Using a die grinder with a mild abrasive (Scotch Brite(R) type), remove any rust or corrosion from the hub and brake disc mounting surfaces.
- Align the match-marks and reinstall the brake disc on the hub.
- Using the special tool, machine the brake discs. Follow the manufacturer's instructions. After machining, make sure the brake disc still meets the thickness specification.
CAUTION : Do not use a bench lathe to machine brake discs.
NOTE : The depth of cut must be between 0.10 and 0.20 mm (0.004 and 0.008 inch) . Lighter cuts will cause heat and wear. Heavier cuts will cause poor brake disc surface finish.
- Using a dial indicator, verify that the brake disc lateral runout is now within specification.
- Remove the special tool hub adapter.
- Remove any remaining metal chips from the machining operation.
- For vehicles with a two-piece hub and brake disc assembly:
- Remove the brake disc from the hub.
- Remove any remaining metal chips from hub and brake disc mounting surfaces and from the ABS sensor.
- Apply a high temperature anti-seize lubricant to the mounting surfaces.
- Using the match marks, mount the brake disc on the hub.
- Install the caliper.
- Install the tire and wheel assembly.
- Test the system for normal operation.
