FUNCTIONAL AND VISUAL CHECK
Brake Pad/Disc Wear Check (on vehicle) with bearing
variant (6b; Open Bearing)
5.1.9
The pads/disc wear can be visually determined without
removing the wheel by checking the position of the caliper (1)
compared to the fixed guide pin (4).
If dimension
C
is less than
1 mm
(see Fig. 5.1.9b), the brake
pad thickness and the brake disc must be checked with the
wheel removed. Depending on operating conditions, it may
be necessary to check brake pad thickness and brake disc
even when dimension
C
is greater than
1 mm
.
If any minimal tolerance limits have been reached (see
Section 5.1) the pads and/or disc must be changed.
Brake Discs and Pads must be changed as an axle set
(see Section 6).

the change-over point from
the ribbed to the smooth surface) (see Figs.).
If dimension
C
is less than
1 mm
(see Fig. 5.1.8b), the brake
pad thickness and brake disc must be checked with the
wheel removed. Depending on operating conditions, it may
be necessary to check brake pad thickness and brake disc
even when dimension
C
is greater than
1 mm
.
If any minimal tolerance limits have been reached (see
Section 5.1) the pads and/or disc must be changed.
Pads must be changed as an axle set (see Section 6). For disc
