Check of thickness of a brake disk

 PERFORMANCE ORDER

  1. Mark with an arrow the direction of rotation of a wheel. Turn off bolts of fastening of wheels. Lift and install the car on supports.
  1. Measure thickness of a brake disk surely in the thinnest place (an arrow on an accompanying illustration). On HUNDRED for this purpose there is a special caliper or a micrometric bracket since wear of a disk has an edge. It is possible to measure thickness of a disk by means of a usual caliper. In this case on each party of a brake disk it is necessary to put laying of a certain thickness (for example, a small coin). In this case it is necessary to subtract thickness of two coins from the received result of measurement.

It is necessary to perform measurement in several points of a brake disk.
