6.2.2 Description and Operation
6.2.2.1 Description and Operation
Front Disc Brake System Components:
Front disc brake system consists of the following components:
Brake Pad:Apply the force from the hydraulic brake caliper
mechanical output on the brake disc friction surface.
Brake Pad Guide:Installed between the the disc brake pad and
the brake pad mounting bracket to keep the brake pad moving
smooth and to eliminate the noise.
Brake Disk:The disc brake pad and the brake disc surface
friction mechanical output slows down the tires and wheels
assembly rotation speed, enables the vehicle's braking.
Brake Caliper:Receive the hydraulic pressure from the brake
master cylinder, converts the hydraulic pressure to mechanical
output force acting on the brake pads; When the master
cylinder returns its position, the brake caliper piston returns to
its position.
Brake Caliper and Brake Pad Mounting Bracket:It is used to fix
the disc brake pad and brake caliper in place to maintain the
correct correlation with the hydraulic brake caliper. When the
mechanical output is applied on the brake pad, it makes the
brake pad slide.
Brake Caliper Floating Pin:It is used to install the hydraulic
brake caliper, fix the brake caliper in place to maintain the
correct correlation with the with the brake caliper bracket.
When the mechanical output is applied on the brake caliper, it
makes the the brake caliper slide in relation to the brake pad.
Front Disc Brake System Operation:
The mechanical output from the hydraulic brake caliper piston
is applied on the brake pad. When the piston pushes the inside
brake pad from outside, at the same time, the brake caliper
pulls the outer brake pads inward, so that the output power is
evenly distributed. The brake pad applies the output force to
the brake disc friction surface on both sides, thus slowing down
the tire and wheel assembly speed. Whether the brake lining
guide and the floating brake caliper pin are working properly is
very important to evenly distribute the braking force.

6.2.4 Diagnostic Information and Procedures
6.2.4.1 Brake Pad Inspection
1. Regularly check the brake pad, measure the brake pad according to the graphic shown below. If the measurement is not within
the specification, replace the brake pad.
2. If the brake pad needs to be replaced, replace the disc brake pads on the same axle at the same time.
3. Check whether the disc brake pad friction surface is cracked, broken or damaged.
FE06-0005b
6.2.4.2 Brake Caliper Inspection
1. Check whether the brake caliper housing is cracking, severely worn or damaged. If the above conditions exist, replace the brake
caliper.
2. Check whether the brake caliper piston dust cover seal is cracked, broken, punctured, aging, and improperly installed in the
brake caliper body. If there is any of the above conditions, replace the brake caliper.
3. Check whether there is brake fluid leak on the brake caliper piston dust cover seal surrounding and the disc brake pad. If there
is brake fluid leaking sign, replace the brake caliper.
4. Check whether the brake caliper piston enters into the caliper cylinder smoothly and completely. The movement should be
smooth. If the brake caliper piston is stuck or hard to reach the cylinder bottom, replace the brake caliper.
6.2.4.3 Brake Guide Inspection
–
Check the brake guide for the existence of deficiencies, severe corrosion, installing convex tongue bent.
–
If any of the above is found, replace the disc brake guide. Make sure that the brake pad slide smoothly on the disc brake pad
guide without blocking.
6.2.4.4 Floating Brake Caliper Pin Inspection
Check the brake caliper pin floating whether the following conditions exist:
–
Catching
–
Stuck
–
Jacket Cracking or Broken
–
Jacket Missing

If any of the above is found, replace the brake caliper and the dust cover seal.
6.2.4.5 Brake Disc Surface and Worn Inspection
1. Clean the brake disc brake friction surface with industrial alcohol or a permitted equivalent detergent.
2. Check the brake disc friction surface for the following conditions:
•
Severe corrosion and / or pitting
•
Minor Surface Rust
•
Cracking and / or Sunburn
•
Serious Color Changing (Blue)
•
Deep scratches on the brake disc friction surface
If one or more of the above exists, then the brake disc needs to be repaired or replaced.
Note
After the brake disk surface repair or replacement, the brake pad needs to be replaced.
6.2.4.6 Brake Disc Thickness Measurement
FE06-0015b
1. Clean the brake disc brake friction surface with industrial alcohol or similar cleaning agent .
2. With a micrometer to measure and record evenly distributed 4 or more points minimum thickness along the circumference of the
brake disc. Make sure that only measure the brake pad lining contacting area. For each measurement, the micrometer and the
brake disc outer edge distance must be equal.
3. If the brake disc thickness exceeds the specifications, replace the brake disc.
Note
After the brake disk repair or replacement, the brake pad should be replaced.
6.2.4.7 Brake Disc Assembly Rear Face Run Out Measurement
Note
When removing the brake disc from the wheel hub / axle flange, remove the rust or dirt from the wheel hub / axle flange
and the brake disc mating surface, otherwise, it could lead to brake disc assembly rear face excessive run out, lead to
the brake pulsation.
