free. However, there is the possibility that
the original brakes were replaced with
aftermarket parts containing asbestos.
Since this possibility exists, all brake parts
should be handled as if they contain
asbestos. Refer to Appendix C for
recommended handling precautions.
NOTE: The brake pad must be removed to accurately
measure the
lining thickness.
Refer to Replace
the Front or
Rear Brake
Pads section for
information on
removing the
brake pads.
Measure the brake pad
lining at the thinnest point
on the pad. If the brake
pad lining is 1/16-inch or
less then the brake pad
must be replaced.
It is recommended to
replace the left and right
side brake pads as a set.

Rotor Service Limit (example only, refer to actual rotor for specification)

Disc Brake Rotor

Rotor Service Limit = The minimum rotor thickness
will be stamped in the rotor. See example below.
NOTE: The front brake rotor is an integral part of the
front hub. If the brake rotor is worn beyond
its service limits, then the front hub must be
replaced. Refer to
information on replacing the front hub.
NOTE: The wheel must be removed to accurately
measure the rotor thickness. Refer to
and Wheels
section for information on
removing the wheel.
1. Measure the run out of the rotor at its maximum
diameter. If the run out exceeds 0.005, then the
rotor must be machined. Do not machine the rotor
beyond its service limit (see above).
NOTE: A bent axle or damaged rear axle could cause
excessive brake rotor run out.
2. Measure the thickness of the brake rotor in 3
places. If the any one of the measurements is less
than the rotor service limit , then the rotor must be
replaced.
Do not use a rotor that is worn beyond its
service limits. A rotor worn beyond its
service limits could fail and cause loss of
brakes resulting in severe bodily injury
and/or property damage.
