Using vernier calipers, measure the thickness ot
each brake pad lining. The measurement does not
include pad backing plate thickness.
Brako Pad Thickness:
St8ndard:
Type R Modol:
10.5 - 11.5 mm {0.41 - 0.45 in}
All except Type R Model:

Service Limit: 1.6 mm (0.06 inl
lf the brake pad thickness is less than the service
limit, replace the front pads as a set,
Clean the caliper thoroughly; remove any rust, and
check tor grooves and cracks.

Inspect the disc surface for damage or cracks. Clean
the disc thoroughly and remove all rust.
Use wheel nuts and suitable plain washers to hold
the disc securely against the hub, then mount a dial
indicator as shown, and measure the runout aat 10

differential, raise both front wheels off the
ground.

is greater than 0.'10 mm (O.O04 in).
Disc Thickness and Parallelism
Loosen the rear wheel lug nuts slightly, then raise
the vehicle and support it on safety stands. Remove
the rear wheels.
Remove the brake pads (see page 19-16).
Using a micrometer, measure disc thickness at
eight points, approximately 45" apart and 10 mm
(0.4 in) in from the outer edge of the disc. Replace
the brake disc if the smallest measurement is less
than the max. retinishing limit.
