The brake pad thickness with wheels fitted
(see Fig.) can be checked at the brake calliper
marking (P) opposite the
fixed carrier marking (R) (see Fig.).
If state 5.1.7b has been reached, the brake pad
thickness and brake disc must be checked with the
wheels removed (see Fig.).
If the thicknesses have fallen below the minimum
dimensions (see Fig. 5.1), the brake pads and
brake disc must be replaced.
Replace the brake pads and brake discs only
axially.
