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.

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:

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.
NOTE: See section 18 for brake disc replacement.
