This information can be accessed at www.gmtraining.com> resources > training materials> brake LRO course ware index.
There are five (5) key steps that must be performed to complete a successful brake service:
^ Measure and Document Rotor Thickness* - determine rotor refinish/replace
^ Clean Mating Surfaces - hub, rotor and wheel
^ Proper Rotor Refinish and Documentation
^ Measure, Document and Correct Lateral Run Out (LRO)** - Maximum 0.050 mm (0.002 in)
Reassemble with Proper Torque - wheel lug nuts
*The bulletin refers to Minimum Thickness specification (stamped on the back of the rotor) as the minimum allowable thickness after refinish. Refer to SI to verify specifications.
**The bulletin will refer to LRO maximum specification as 0.050 mm (0.002 in). However, some trucks may slightly differ. Refer to SI to verify specifications.
