Front disc brake pads: checking thick‐
ness
Note
One some vehicles it may be very difficult to ascertain or measure
the thickness of the pad due to the geometry of the wheel rim. If
this is the case, remove the wheel on the side where the brake
pad wear indicator is installed for better evaluation or measure‐
ment of the remaining pad thickness.
Procedure
– Measure outer and inner brake pad thickness by inspecting
through the holes of wheel rim (depending on type).
– For better evaluation or measurement of remaining pad thick‐
ness, remove wheel on side where brake pad wear indicator
is installed as necessary.
– Pull off wheel bolt covers if necessary
.
– Mark position of wheel relative to brake disc.
– Unbolt wheel bolts and remove wheel.
