Control measurement of the axial run-out and thickness variation of the disc
|
|
1.
|
Raise the car and remove the front wheels.
|
|
2.
|
Start by control measuring on one side. Press the brake piston back using a pair of slip-joint pliers.

Remove the brake caliper and suspend it from the MacPherson strut with a cable tie.
|
|
4.
|
Fit the five wheel bolts with four washers on each bolt.
|
|
6.
|
Rotate the brake disc while observing the outboard dial gauge. Zero both gauges when the negative reading obtained on the outboard one is at maximum.
|
|
7.
|
Rotate the disc and read the gauges. Note the runout (A) and variation in thickness (B).
|
|
8.
|
Remove the dial gauges, brake disc measuring tool and wheel bolts with washers.
|
|
9.
|
Fit the brake caliper, apply Loctite 242 part number 74 96 268 to the bolts and tighten with torque wrench.
Tightening torque 110 Nm (81 lbf ft)
|
|
10.
|
Fit the wheel. See
Wheels.
