2. Remove the tire and wheel. Refer to "Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation: ".
3. Without disconnecting the brake caliper hose, remove the brake caliper and bracket as an assembly and support
with heavy mechanics wire or equivalent. Refer to "Front Brake Caliper Bracket Replacement".
4. Remove the front brake rotor. Refer to "Front Brake Rotor Replacement".
5. Remove the wheel bearing/hub. Refer to "Front Wheel Bearing and Hub Replacement: ".
1 Disc Brake Splash Shield
Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral Runout
Correction
NOTE
• Brake rotor thickness variation MUST be
checked BEFORE checking for assembled
lateral runout (LRO). Thickness variation
exceeding the maximum acceptable level
can cause brake pulsation. Refer to "Brake
Rotor Thickness Variation Measurement: ".
• Brake rotor assembled lateral runout
(LRO) exceeding the maximum allowable
specification can cause thickness
variation to develop in the brake rotor over
time, usually between 4 800-11 300 km
(3,000-7,000 mi). Refer to "Brake Rotor
Assembled Lateral Runout Measurement:
".
Review the following acceptable methods for bringing
the brake rotor assembled LRO to within specifications.
Determine which method to use for the specific vehicle
being repaired.
Component Name
• The indexing method of correcting assembled LRO is
most effective when the LRO specification is only
exceeded by a relatively small amount: 0.025-0.127
mm (0.001-0.005 in). Indexing is used to achieve the
best possible match of high spots to low spots
between related components. Refer to "Brake Rotor
Assembled Lateral Runout Correction - Indexing: ".
• The correction plate method of correcting assembled
LRO involves the addition of a tapered plate between
the brake rotor and the hub/axle flange. The
correction plate method can be used to correct LRO
that exceeds the specification by up to 0.23 mm
(0.009 in). Refer to "Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral
Runout Correction - Correction Plates: ".
• The on-vehicle brake lathe method is used to bring
the LRO to within specifications through
compensating for LRO while refinishing the brake
rotor. Refer to "Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral
Runout Correction - On Vehicle Lathe: ".
If the assembled LRO cannot be corrected using these
methods, then other components must be suspected as
causing and/or contributing to the LRO concern.
