2. Jack up the car, place it on jack stands and remove the wheels.
3. Measure the thickness of the brake discs. Take the measurement at the thinnest point of the disc (see arrows in the illustration), because the disc wear causes a deflection of its surface. In workshops, a special micrometer is used to measure the thickness of the brake disc.
The thickness of the brake disc can be measured with a regular caliper, but in this case, a lining of the appropriate thickness, for example, two coins, must be placed on both sides of the disc.
To accurately determine the thickness of the brake disc, you need to subtract the thickness of the coins or spacers from the obtained value.
Attention! Measure the thickness of the brake disc at several points.
The dimensions of the brake discs are indicated in "Specifications".
When the minimum residual thickness is reached, the brake disc must be replaced.
If there are cracks or grooves on the disc that are more than 0.5 mm deep, the brake disc should also be replaced with a new one.
4. Install the wheels in accordance with the marks made during removal.
5. Screw in the wheel mounting bolts and lower the vehicle.
6. Tighten the wheel mounting bolts in a cross pattern to a torque of 120 Nm.
