PERFORMANCE ORDER

1. Tighten the hand brake, then lift a forward part of the car and fix on supports.
2. Remove the corresponding forward wheel.
3. Establish on a bolt of fastening of a wheel a washer in thickness of 10 mm and screw in a fastening bolt in an opening of a brake disk.
4. Slowly turn a brake disk so that it could be considered from two parties. Wear of a brake disk from blocks should be in admissible limits. If there are cracks on a disk, the disk is subject to replacement.
5. The indicator of hour type check palpation of a brake disk. The indicator of hour type fix in any convenient place and, turning a brake disk, define its palpation at distance of 10 mm from external edge.

7. Check a brake disk on existence of cracks, especially round openings under bolts of fastening of a wheel, and also on existence of wear or mechanical damages and, if necessary, replace it.
	8. Measure thickness of a brake disk (shooters specified measurement places).
9. Because on perimeter of a brake disk there is a step, at measurement of thickness of a brake disk with use of a calliper enclose under calliper sponges two coins. For determination of true thickness of a brake disk subtract from calliper indications thickness of two coins.
10. Most conveniently also it is precisely possible to measure thickness of a brake disk with micrometer use.
Prevention It is necessary to measure thickness of a brake disk in several points on a circle of a brake disk. It is necessary to take smallest of the measured values for true thickness of a brake disk.
11. In the presence of scratches or cracks a brake disk it is necessary to replace more than 0,5 mm with depth.
