Brake Pad Inspection
The brake pads must be inspected when specified in the
maintenance schedule. See Maintenance Schedule
information on page 5-2
. Visually inspect the brakes by
looking at the remaining brake pad material through the
sides of the brake caliper.
Replace the brake pads if
either pad’s thickness is 0.05
in (1.35 mm) or less. If the
brake pads (A) are worn,
replace both brake pads
immediately.
The brake rotor should also
be checked for thickness.
The minimum thickness is
0.15 in (3.85 mm).
