ROTORS
Determine the need to recondition based upon individual rotor
conditions that follow. Friction material replacement does not require
rotor reconditioning unless other justifications exist. DO NOT
recondition new rotors unless they are being pressed or bolted onto an
existing hub. It is not necessary to replace rotors in axle sets.
However, when replacing or reconditioning a rotor due to the
conditions that follow, you may suggest reconditioning of the other
rotor on the same axle to eliminate uneven braking behavior.
Determine the need to replace based upon the individual rotor
conditions that follow. Reconditioning is defined as machining and
block sanding, or block sanding only. Block sanding is defined as
using 120-150 grit sandpaper with moderate to heavy force for 60
seconds per side. Always wash rotors after servicing or before
installing.

Condition Code Procedure
Corrosion affecting
structural integrity ... A ........ ( 1) Require replacement.
Cracked ................. B ............ Require replacement.
Hard spots .............. 2 ....... Suggest reconditioning or
replacement of rotor according
to OEM specifications.
Lateral runout (wobble)
exceeds OEM
specifications ......... B ............ Require re-indexing,
reconditioning, or replacement
according to specifications.
Measured thickness is less
than OEM discard
specifications ......... B ............ Require replacement.
Rotor thickness is less
than OEM "machine to"
specifications but thicker
than "discard at"
specifications, and the
rotor does not require
reconditioning ......... 1 ........ ( 2) Suggest replacement.
Rotor thickness will be
less than OEM "machine to"
specifications after
required

reconditioning ......... B ........ (3) Require replacement.
Surface is rust-pitted .. B ....... Require reconditioning or
replacement of rotor according
to OEM specifications.
Surface is scored ....... B ... ( 4) Require reconditioning or
replacement of rotor according
to OEM specifications.
Thickness variation
(parallelism) exceeds OEM
specifications .......... B ....... Require reconditioning or
replacement of rotor according
to OEM specifications.
( 1) - Examples of severe corrosion are: composite plate
separated from friction surfaces and cooling fins
cracked or missing.
( 2) - Only applies to vehicles for which OEM "machine to"
specifications exist. If OEM does not supply "machine
to" specifications, the rotor may be worn to discard
specifications.
( 3) - If OEM does not supply "machine to" specifications,
you may machine to discard specifications.
( 4) - Scoring is defined as grooves or ridges in the friction
contact surface. Some vehicle manufacturers require
machining when scoring exceeds their allowable
specifications.
