pads, check that the carrier plate of
the brake

Fitting brake pads with the carrier
plate less than the specified thickness
may result in brake failure due to the
possible loss of the brake pad as it
wears.
Brake pads must be inspected in
accordance
requirements and replaced if worn to, or
beyond the minimum service thickness.
