DISC ROTOR INSPECTION
Visual Inspection
Check surface of disc rotor for uneven wear, cracks, and serious damage. Replace if there are.
Runout Inspection
1. Fix disc rotor to wheel hub using wheel nuts (2 or more posi-
tions).
2. Inspect runout using a dial gauge. [Measured at 10 mm (0.39 in)
inside the disc edge.]
NOTE:
Before measuring, make sure that wheel bearing axial end play
is within the specification. Refer to FAX-5, "
WHEEL BEARING
INSPECTION" .
3. When runout exceeds limit value, displace mounting positions of
disc rotor by one hole. And then find a position of the minimum value for runout.
4. Replace or lathe disc rotor if runout is outside the specified value after performing the above operation.
(“MAD DL-8700”, “AMMCO 700 and 705” or equivalent.)
Thickness Inspection
Check thickness of the disc rotor using a micrometer. Replace disc
rotor if thickness is under the wear limit.
BRAKE BURNISHING PROCEDURE
Burnish contact surfaces between disc rotors and pads according to following procedure after refinishing or
replacing rotors, after replacing pads, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage.
CAUTION:

Be careful of vehicle speed because the brake does not operate easily until pad and disc rotor are
securely fitted.

Only perform this procedure under safe road and traffic conditions. Use extreme caution.
1. Drive vehicle on straight, flat road.
2. Depress brake pedal with the power to stop vehicle within 3 to 5 seconds until the vehicle stops.
3. Drive without depressing brake for a few minutes to cool the brake.
4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 until pad and disc rotor are securely fitted.Runout limit : 0.035 mm (0.0014 in)

Companion Flange Runout
1. Fit a test indicator to the inner side of companion flange (socket
diameter).
2. Rotate companion flange to check for runout.
3. If the runout value is outside the runout limit, follow the proce-
dure below to adjust.
a. Check for runout while changing the phase between companion
flange and drive pinion by 90° step, and search for the position
where the runout is the minimum.
b. If the runout value is still outside of the limit after the phase has
been changed, possible cause will be an assembly malfunction of drive pinion and pinion bearing and
malfunction of pinion bearing. Check for these items and repair if necessary.
c. If the runout value is still outside of the limit after the check and repair, replace companion flange.
