PistonNJBR0033S0102CAUTION:
Piston sliding surface is plated. Do not polish with emery
paper even if rust or foreign materials are stuck to sliding
surface.
Check piston for score, rust, wear, damage or presence of foreign
materials. Replace if any of the above conditions are observed.
Slide Pin, Pin Bolt and Pin BootNJBR0033S0103Check for wear, cracks or other damage. Replace if any of the
above conditions are observed.
ROTORNJBR0033S02Rubbing SurfaceNJBR0033S0201Check rotor for roughness, cracks or chips.

RunoutNJBR0033S02021. Secure rotor to wheel hub with at least two nuts (M12 x 1.25).
2. Check runout using a dial indicator.
Make sure that wheel bearing axial end play is within the
specifications before measuring. Refer to AX section
(ªFront Wheel Bearingº, ªON-VEHICLE SERVICEº).
Maximum runout:
0.07 mm (0.0028 in)
3. If the runout is out of specification, find minimum runout posi-
tion as follows:
a. Remove nuts and rotor from wheel hub.
b. Shift the rotor one hole and secure rotor to wheel hub with
nuts.
c. Measure runout.
d. Repeat steps a. to c. so that minimum runout position can be
found.
4. If the runout is still out of specification, turn rotor with on-car
brake lathe (ªMAD, DL-8700º, ªAMMCO 700 and 705º or
equivalent).
