Brake Disc Assembled Lateral Runout Correction -- On Vehicle Lathe

Special Tools

CH-45101-100 Conical Brake Rotor Washers

For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools .

Warning: Refer to Brake Dust Warning in the Preface section.

Note: 

1. Ensure that the calliper and calliper bracket that are already being supported, are clear from contacting any rotating components, such as the brake rotor.
2. Remove the CH-45101-100 washers and the lug nuts that were installed during the assembled LRO measurement procedure and/or the indexing correction procedure.
3. Inspect the mounting surface of the hub/axle flange and the brake rotor to ensure that there are no foreign particles or debris remaining.
4. Set up the lathe, following the manufacturer's instructions.
5. Refinish the brake rotor, following the brake lathe manufacturer's instructions. Refer to Brake Disc Refinishing .
6. After each successive cut, inspect the brake rotor thickness. Refer to Brake Disc Thickness Measurement .
7. If at any time the brake rotor exceeds the minimum allowable thickness after refinish specification, the brake rotor must be replaced. After replacing the rotor, proceed to step 10.
8. After refinishing the brake rotor, use the following procedure in order to obtain the desired non-directional finish:

8.1.	Follow the brake lathe manufacturer's recommended speed setting for applying a non-directional finish.

8.2.	Using moderate pressure, apply the non-directional finish:

•	If the lathe is equipped with a non-directional finishing tool, apply the finish with 120-grit aluminium oxide sandpaper.

•	If the lathe is not equipped with a non-directional finishing tool, apply the finish with a sanding block and 150-grit aluminium oxide sandpaper.

8.3.	After applying a non-directional finish, clean each friction surface of the brake rotor with methylated spirit, or an equivalent approved brake cleaner.

9. Remove the lathe from the vehicle.
10. Measure the assembled LRO of the brake rotor. Refer to Brake Disc Assembled Lateral Runout Measurement .
11. If the brake rotor assembled LRO measurement still exceeds the maximum allowable specification, refer to Brake Disc Assembled Lateral Runout Correction .
12. If the brake rotor assembled LRO is within specification, install the brake calliper and depress the brake pedal several times to secure the rotor in place before removing theCH 45101-100 washers and the lug nuts.
