BRAKE ROTOR THICKNESS MEASUREMENT
CAUTION: Refer to Brake Dust Caution in Cautions and Notices.
- 1 . If the inboard friction surface of the brake rotor is not accessible; reposition and support the caliper with the brake Refer to Brake Pads Replacement. pads.
- Clean the friction surfaces of the brake rotor with denatured alcohol, or an equivalent approved brake cleaner .
- 3 . Using a micrometer calibrated in thousanths-of-a-millimeter, or ten-thousanths-of-an inch, measure and record the thickness of the brake rotor at 4 or more points; evenly spaced around the rotor.
Ensure that the measurements are only taken within the friction surfaces and that the micrometer is positioned the same distance from the outer edge of the rotor, about 13 mm (1/2 in) for each measurement
