Checking for lateral run-out and variation in thickness, front wheels


1. Raise the car and remove the front wheels.

2. Start by control measuring on one side.

3. Press in the piston

- Level 1 and 2: Press in the brake pad by prising with a screwdriver.


- Level 3: Prise between the brake disc and the brake caliper using a screwdriver.


4. Remove the brake caliper retaining bolts and lift of the caliper.

Note

7. Fit 89 96 639 Gauge, brake disc to the upper mounting lug for the brake caliper with an M10 bolt and nut. Fit a 78 40 622 Dial gauge on either side.

8. 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.


9. Rotate the disc and read the gauges. Note the runout (A) and variation in thickness (B).

10. Check that the readings are within the tolerance limits, see Brake discs .

11. Remove the dial gauges, brake disc measuring tool and wheel studs with washers.

12. If runout and thickness variation exceeds specified tolerances, the discs must be machined or replaced. see Brake disc, front .

13. Fit the brake caliper. Secure the bolts with 74 96 268 Thread locking adhesive .

Tightening torque: 210 Nm +30° (155 lbf ft +30°)
