WARNING
Always replace brake pads in complete sets for correct
and safe brake operation. Improper brake operation
could result in death or serious injury. (00111a)
See Figure 1-9. Inspect brake pads for damage or excessive
wear. Replace both pads as a set if friction material of either
pad is worn to 0.1 in. (2.5 mm) or less. If this amount of wear
occurs, wear grooves (2) will disappear from friction material
surface. See Figure 1-10.
NOTE
Always replace brake pads in pairs.
BRAKE ROTORS
11 1
WARNING
Be sure that brake fluid or other lubricants do not con-
tact brake pads or discs. Such contact can adversely
affect braking ability, which could cause loss of control,
resulting in death or serious injury. (00290a)
Check front and rear brake rotors for minimum thickness:
1. Measure rotor thickness. Replace if minimum thickness
is less than 0.18 in. (4.5 mm).
2. Check rotor surface. Replace if warped or badly scored.
3. The brake rotor must be within the following specifica-
tions. If the brake rotor is suspected of being damaged,
inspect rotor using the following measurements:
Lateral Movement: 0.01-0.02 in. (0.3-0.5 mm).
Radial Movement: 0.02 in. (0.5 mm).
Rotational Movement: 0.02 in. (0.5 mm).
