Inspection-Rotor
RUBBING SURFACE
Check rotor for roughness, cracks or chips.
RUNOUT
1. Secure rotor to wheel hub with two nuts (M12 x 1.25).
2. Check runout using a dial indicator.
Make sure that wheel bearing axial end play is within the specifications before measuring.
3. Change relative positions of rotor and wheel hub so that runout is minimized.
Maximum runout: 0.07 mm (0.0028 inch)
THICKNESS
Rotor repair limit:
Minimum thickness
8.0 mm (0.315 inch)
Thickness variation (At least 8 positions)
Maximum 0.02 mm (0.0008 inch)
Replace rotor if any of the above do not meet the specifications.
Assembly
