Brakes and rotors replacement

Hello,

While brake clean is not absolutely necessary to do a brake job, it sure is a nice thing to have. Brakes are inherently dirty, with brake dust covering parts of the brakes that will be reused. I have included a few links for you below:

Please go through these guides and get back to us with what you are able to find out.

Thanks,

Good morning,

Yes, it is normal for movement without the wheel mounted.

Yes, you need a torque wrench to tighten the bolts to be sure they are secured properly.

You also need it for your wheels or you could end up warping a new rotor.

Use the same procedures for the LH side and RH side.
The procedures listed are for the LH side.

1. INSTALL FRONT DISC
a) Align the matchmarks and install the disc.

HINT: When replacing the disc with a new one, select the installation position where the disc has the minimum runout.

2. CHECK DISC RUNOUT
a) Check the bearing play in the axle direction and check the axle hub runout.
B) Temporarily install the disc to the hub with the 2 hub nuts.
C) Using a dial indicator, measure the disc runout 10 mm (0.3 inch) away from the outer edge of the disc.
Minimum disc runout: 0.05 mm (0.0020 inch)
If the runout is greater than the maximum, change the installation position of the disc and axle so that the runout will become minimal.
If the runout is greater than the maximum even when the installation positions are changed, grind the disc.
If the disc thickness is less than the minimum, replace the disc.
D) Remove the 2 hub nuts.
3. INSTALL FRONT DISC BRAKE CYLINDER MOUNTING LH
a) Install the cylinder mounting with the 2 bolts.
Torque: 107 Nm (1,090 kgf-cm, 79 ft. Lbs.)
