Brake Rotors

Examine the brake rotors. Original thickness is .1875"
(4.76mm). See Figure 6.27.
Figure 6.27
The rotors merit replacement if:
• Warpage exceeds .020" (.50mm) total indicated
run-out (T.I.R.)
• The friction surface is deeply scored, pitted, or
erupted.
• Total thickness is less than .125" (3.175mm).
The brake rotors are very similar front to rear, and the
rotor replacement method is identical.
1. Remove the brake caliper as described in the
Brake Pads section of this manual.
