Front Brake Rotor
Removal & Installation
1. Raise and support the vehicle.
2. Remove the wheel mounting nuts and the tire and wheel assembly.
(Tighten: Wheel mounting nuts to 110 N·m)
3. Remove the front caliper (See Front Caliper
Removal & Installation in Section 12 Brakes).
4. Remove the front brake rotor locating screws (1).
(Tighten: Front brake rotor locating screws to 6-12
N·m)
5. Slide the front brake rotor off the hub and bearing.
6. Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
Inspection
Excessive runout or wobble in a rotor can increase pedal travel due to piston knock-back. This increases guide pin
sleeve wear due to the tendency of the caliper to follow the rotor wobble.
Braking Surface Inspection
Light braking surface scoring and wear is acceptable. If heavy scoring or warping is evident, the rotor must be resur-
faced or replaced. Excessive wear and scoring of the rotor can cause improper lining contact on the rotor's braking
surface. If the ridges on the rotor are not removed before new brake pads are installed, improper wear of the shoes
will result. Some discoloration or wear of the rotor surface is normal and does not require resurfacing when linings
are replaced. If cracks or burned spots are evident, the rotor must be replaced.
Rotor Minimum Thickness
Measure the rotor thickness (1) at the center of the
brake pad contact surface. Replace the rotor (2) if it is
worn below minimum thickness or if machining the rotor
will cause its thickness to fall below specifications.
CAUTION:
Do not machine the rotor if it will cause the rotor to fall below minimum thickness.
