(1) - Identify and repair cause of contamination prior to
replacing friction material.
(2) - When reconditioning or replacing drums or rotors,
replacement of friction material may be suggested
depending on the severity of the grooves or ridges.
(3) - Some vehicles use pads that are tapered by design. Refer
to specific vehicle application. If not normal, require
replacement of pads and correction of cause.
(4) - Uneven pad thickness is normal on some vehicles. Refer to
specific vehicle applications.
(5) - The pad wear indicator light may come on due to other
electrical problems.
(6) - Explain to the customer that the purpose of the wear
indicator is to alert him or her to check for friction
wear. Wear indicators may be bent or broken. Therefore,
the friction material must be measured. The need for
friction material replacement is determined based upon
the conditions stated in this section. Periodic inspection
is suggested.
(7) - When the part appears to be close to the end of its useful
life, replacement may be suggested.
