2. CHECK PAD LINING THICKNESS
(a) Using a ruler, measure the pad lining thickness.
Standard thickness:

Minimum thickness:
1.0 mm (0.039 in.)
If the pad lining thickness is equal to or less than the minimum, replace the pad.

(a) Check the 4 support plates.
Make sure that the plates have sufficient rebound and are free from deformation, cracks, wear, rust and dirt.
If necessary, replace the support plates.






4. CHECK DISC THICKNESS
(a) Using a micrometer, measure the disc thickness.
Standard thickness:
9.0 mm (0.354 in.)
Minimum thickness:
7.5 mm (0.295 in.)
If the disc thickness is less than the minimum, replace the disc.
