FRONT BRAKE - CHECK
If any pad is worn out (inboard /outboard) then replace both the pads.
If pads on one wheel only are worn, even then replace the other wheels also.
Any excessive difference between inboard and outboard wear indicates either bent or seized
sliding pin. Please check the complete hydraulic system besides the calipers.
Always replace the front pads and shims together as a set.
Install inner pad with its wear indicator upward.
Inspect at every 10000kms from 20000kms onwards.
Front Brake – Check. Refer illustration shown.
1. Check the disc for abnormal wear/grooves (Minimum usable thickness of the disc is
21mm. Do not check disc thickness near the outer edge of disc)
2. Loosen & remove the bottom side sliding pin bolt. Swing up the caliper. Remove the pads
& check the pad thickness. The minimum usable pad thickness is 7 mm. (without backing
plate) if observed less; replace the pads. (The groove at the center of the pad can also be
used as a reference. If the pad has worn up to the end of the groove; it should be
replaced)
3. Measure the thickness at the thinnest and worn area of the pad. Replace pad assembly
when pad thickness is less than the limit value.
4. Mechanical Pad wear indicator is provided to know pad wear limit; which will make rattle
noise when pad is worn out.
5. Check for the oil leakage from Calipers/piston seals.
