Checking Brake Pads and Rotors for Wear
Disc brake pads and rotors are critical safety components and should be
checked regularly for function and wear. Worn-through brake pads will
very quickly ruin the brake rotor, compounding the costs and increasing
downtime, so it is a false economy to ever delay replacement.
The brake pads should be replaced at a minimum of 1mm of pad mate-
rial remaining. They can be checked in-place, with the help of a bright
flashlight, by sighting along the surface of the brake rotor. Be sure not to
confuse the pad backing plates with pad friction material.
View of worn vs un-worn brake pads.
Brake rotor surfaces should be free of deep grooves and show no signs
of cracking, in particular around mounting bolt holes. The minimum
allowable rotor thickness is marked on the rotor, usually near the hub.
Pointed-anvil brake measuring calipers are recommended for an accurate
assessment.
Refer brake system service to your MOTORINO™ dealer.
