2. This is a good example of worn front
disc brakes.
Rotor is dished in the center and high
on the edges.

3. The lower edge of the inner pad is worn
to about 2mm (.080”) in thickness.
Minimum spec is typically 1mm.

4. Check the rotor thickness and record.
Micrometer reads .924”. This is an
import and the specs will be metric.

5. Rotors are always stuck to the hub.
A little penetrating oil helps here..

6. This is the minimum thickness spec.
It is 22mm.
This needs to be changed to SAE form.
The magic conversion
number is…
.03937”
The rotor minimum
thickness is .866”

7. In order to produce an accurate finish,
things will need to be cleaned up a bit
on the mounting surface of the rotor.

28. Icing on the cake! A power brake fluid
flush will make this job even better!

29. Remove old fluid from brake master
cylinder, attach flush machine to
system…

30. …and remove old fluid at caliper while
flush machine replaces fluid at master
cylinder. With new fluid, temperature
performance will be assured.

31. Let’s hope your brake job turns out better than this
EPIC FAIL!
