Replace the housing if there are large scratches or large
amounts of rust. Refer to Inspection - Caliper Parts.
11. Inspect the pistons and the bores for scratches and rust.
Remove small scratches and rust with emery cloth.

Inspection
Periodic On-Vehicle
Inspect the caliper, linings, and disc for any damage.
Shoes, Linings, and End Plates
Remove the shoes and linings. To help prevent abnormal
lining wear, replace worn, bent, or cracked end plates and
distorted backing plates. Inspect end plate bolts for wear.
Replace the bolts if worn. Inspect the linings for:
• Lining Wear. Replace the linings when the thickness
of the lining is less than 0.125 in (3.2 mm) from the
back plate (Figure 8-19).
• Lining Wear Not Even. Replace the linings if the
thickness of the two linings is significantly different.
Check the pistons for correct operation. Replace the
piston and/or housing if a piston is cocked in the
bore. Check that the disc surface is flat and parallel
to the linings (Figure 8-19).
• Oil or Grease on Linings. Replace the linings.
• Cracks on Linings. Replace linings that have large
or deep cracks.
NOTE: Small, tight cracks on the surface of the lining are
normal when the caliper is used under high temper-
ature conditions.
