Front Brake Disc
Disc Runout Inspection
l.Loosen the front wheel nuts slightly, then raise the
vehicle, and make sure it is securely supported.
Remove the front wheels.
Remove the brake pads {see page 19-9).
Inspect the disc surface for damage and cracks.
Clean the disc thoroughly, and remove all .ust.
Use wheel nuts and suitable plain washers to hold
the disc securely against the hub, then mount a dial
indicator as shown, and maasure the runout at
10 mm (0.4 in) from the outer edge of the disc.
Brake Di3c Runout:
Service Limit: 0.10 mm {0.00,0 in)
WHEEL NUT ANDPLAIN WASHER108 N.m {11 kg{ m, 80 lbf.ft)
lf the disc is beyond the service limit, refinish the
brake disc with an on-car brake lathe. The Kwik-
Lathe produced by Kwik-way Manufacturing Co.
and the "Front Brake Disc Lathe" offered by Snap-
on Tools Co. are approved for this operation.
M8x. Rofinish Limit: 21.0 mm l0.8il in)
NOTE: A new disc should bs refinished if its runout
is greater than 0.10 mm (0.004 in).
Disc Thickness and Parallelism
Inspection
1.Loosen the front wheel nuts slightly, then raise the
vehicle, and make sure it is securely supported.
Remove the front wheels.
Remove the brake pads (see page 19-9).
Using a micromater, measure disc thickness at eight
points, approximately 45'apan 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. refinishing limit.
Brake Disc Thickness:
Standard:'97 - 98 modsls:
22.9 -23.1mm {0.90 - 0.91 inl'99 - 00 mod€ls:
23.6 - 23.8 mm {0.93 - 0.94 in}
Max. Refinishing Limit:21.0 mm (o.txl in)
Brake Disc Parallelism: 0.015 mm {0.0006 in} max.
NOTE: This is the maximum allowable difference
between the thickness measurements,
lf the disc is beyond the service limit for parallelism,
refinish the brake disc with an on-car brake lathe.
The Kwik-Lathe produced by Kwik-Way Manufac-
turing Co. and the "Front Brake Disc Lathe" offered
by Snap-on Tools Co. are approved for this opera-
tron.

Disassembly/Reassembly
. Never use an air hose or dry brush to clean brake assemblies.
. Use an OSHA approved vacuum cleaner to avoid breathing brake dust.
. Contaminated brake discs or pads reduce stopping ability.
. When reusing the pads, always reinstallthe brake pads in their original positions to prevent loss ol braking efficiency.
CAUTION:
. Do not spill brake fluid on the vehicle; it may damage the paint; if brake fluid does contact the paint, wash it off imme-
diatelY with water.
NOTEI
. To prevent spills, cover the hose joints with rags or shop towels.
. Clean all pans in brake fluid and air dry; blow out all passages with compressed air.
. Before reassembling, check that all parts are free of dust and other foreign particles.
. Replace parts with new ones whenever specified to do so.
. Make sure no dirt or other foreign matter is allowed to contaminate the brake fluid.
. Do not reuse the drained fluid.
. Always use Genuine Honda DOT 3 Brake Fluid. Using a non-Honda brake fluid can cause corrosion and decrease the
life of the system.
. Coat the piston, piston seal, and caliper bore with clean brake fluid.
. ReDlace all rubber oarts with new ones whenever disassembled.
