CLEANING AND INSPECTION
1. Thoroughly clean all parts in solvent.
Never use compressed air to "spin-dry" bearings. Very
high bearing speeds can damage unlubricated bearings.
Spinning bearings with compressed air can also cause a
bearing to fly apart, which may result in minor or moder-
ate injury.
2. Inspect all parts for damage or excessive wear.
3. Inspect brake rotor.
a. Measure rotor thickness. Replace if less than ser-
vice wear limit. See
ROTORS.
b. Check rotor surface. Replace if warped or badly
scored.
