Brake Disc Parallelism: 0.015 mm {0.0006 in} max.
NOTE: This is the maximum allowable difference
between the thickness measurements,
lf the disc is beyond the service limit for parallelism,
refinish the brake disc with an on-car brake lathe.
The Kwik-Lathe produced by Kwik-Way Manufac-
turing Co. and the "Front Brake Disc Lathe" offered
by Snap-on Tools Co. are approved for this opera-
