8)Brake disc surface finishing
Points of attention: Don’t finish
disc to correct following process:

Brake noise.
Early wear of lining.
Surface corrosion.
Disc fade.

Only finish surface on one of following
conditions:

Serious scratch on surface of disc

with depth of 0.4mm.

The hop caused by following

reasons:

——The deviation of disc depth

exceeds 0.01mm.

——Corrosion or scratch depth

exceeds the surface of disc.
Attention: Whenever to remove the disc
from wheel flange, the corrosion or

dirt on disc or flange face must be
cleaned, otherwise it will cause
serious hop.
1、Clear the wheel bearing and hub.
2、Use micrometer to measure the
thinnest point on disc. If the
thickness of the point exceeds the
minimum thickness of disc, don’t
finish surface of disc. Replace disc at
once.
3、Clear completely the corrosion on
flange.
4、Finish the disc.
Points of attention: If the best
surface finishing could not be reached,
it will cause bad brake ability.
5、After machining the disc, use alumna
to get unidirectional surface.
6、Clean surface with suitable cleaning
fluid
Attention: Loose wheel bolts will
cause brake hop or damage. Screw wheel
nuts to specified torque to avoid
expensive service for brake system.
