If there are scoring marks, deep scratches and other defects on the working surface of the disc that increase pad wear and reduce braking efficiency, as well as in the case of increased lateral runout of the disc, causing vibrations during braking, replace the disc

In specialized workshops, such a disc can be turned and ground on both sides to the same depth, but after processing, the thickness of the disc must not be less than the minimum permissible.

The minimum permissible thickness of the brake disc is 9.5 mm. If the thickness of the disc is less, it must be replaced.

The axial runout of the brake disc surface must not exceed 0.15 mm.

You will need: wrenches "10", "14", "17", "27" (preferably a head with a strong handle), pliers, a punch, a screwdriver, a hammer.

Before installing oh disk, thoroughly clean the mating surfaces of the hub and disk from rust and scale, since the smallest particle of them, clamped between the mating surfaces, will cause the disk to beat and vibration during braking.

If you are installing the old disk, remove the ribs on the working surfaces of the disk with a file, formed as a result of disk wear on both sides.

To press back the previously pressed studs, you can use the wheel mounting nuts.

Screw them onto the ends of the studs through the spacers (you can use larger nuts as spacers) and tighten evenly in a crisscross pattern until the studs are fully pressed into the disc and hub.
