DIAGNOSIS
CHECKING BRAKE
PROPORTIONING VALVE
Use two brake pressure gauges to check the brake pro-
portioning valves that are attached to the master cylinder
on non–ABS braking systems. These valves limit the out-
let pressure to the rear brakes after a predetermined mas-
ter cylinder pressure has been reached. (On ABS braking
systems, the hydraulic modulator/motor pack assembly
controls the hydraulic pressure to both the rear wheel cyl-
inders or rear calipers, and the front calipers.)
When checking the brake proportioning valves, be sure
that the hydraulic line pressure is measured simulta-
neously and diagonally on the front and the rear axles.To measure the pressure, use the following steps.
1. Remove the bleeder valve and install a pressure
gauge to one of the rear brake cylinders.
2. Install another bleeder valve and install another
pressure gauge to the diagonally opposite front
brake.
3. Build pressure by pressing firmly on the brake ped-
al several times. (The pressure indicated on the
gauge is not regulated and represents the actual
brake system hydraulic pressure.)
4. Build pressure until the test values in the following
proportioning valve test chart are achieved.

Important : If the pressure exceeds 10 000 kPa (1,450
psi), the pressure reading on the rear gauge will not be ac-
curate.5. Remove the gauges from the tested brake circuit
and repeat the test on the remaining circuit.

DIAGNOSIS
LINING INSPECTION
1. Raise and suitably support the vehicle.
2. Remove the front wheels. Refer to Section 2E,
Tires and Wheels.
3. Visually check the linings for minimum thickness
and wear.
4. Measure the thickness.
Important : The minimum thickness of the inner or the
outer pad is 7 mm (0.28 inch).
5. Install the brake pads in axle sets only.
6. Install the front wheels. Refer to Section 2E, Tires
and Wheels.
7. Lower the vehicle.ROTOR INSPECTION
Thickness variation can be checked by measuring the
thickness of the rotor at four or more points around the cir-
cumference of the rotor. All measurements must be made
at the same distance in from the edge of the rotor.
A rotor that varies by more than 0.01 mm (0.0004 inch) can
cause pedal pulsations and/or front end vibration during
brake applications. A rotor that does not meet these speci-
fications should be refinished to specifications or re-
placed.
4D – 2IFRONT DISC BRAKES
DAEWOO V–121 BL4
During manufacturing, the brake rotor and the tolerances
of the braking surface regarding flatness, thickness varia-
tion, and lateral runout are held very close. The mainte-
nance of close tolerances on the shape of the braking sur-
faces is necessary to prevent brake roughness.
In addition to these tolerances, the surface finish must be
held to a specified range. The control of the braking sur-
face finish is necessary to avoid pulls and erratic perfor-
mance and to extend lining life.
Using a commercially available dial indicator, check lateral
runout as follows:
Notice : Permissible lateral runout is a maximum 0.03 mm
(0.0012 inch). If lateral runout exceeds the specification,
ensure that there is no dirt between the rotor and the hub
and that contact surfaces are smooth and free from burrs.
1. Position the shift lever in NEUTRAL.2. Remove the rotor. Refer to ”Rotor” in this section.
3. Fasten the brake rotor to the wheel hub with two
wheel bolts.
4. Fasten a dial indicator to the brake caliper.
5. Set the gauge probe tip to approximately 10 mm
(0.39 inch) from the outer edge of the brake rotor,
perpendicular to the disc and under slight preload.
6. Remove the dial indicator and the wheel bolts con-
necting the rotor to the hub.
Important : Since accurate control of the rotor tolerances
is necessary for proper performance of the disc brakes, re-
finishing of the rotor should be done only with precision
equipment.
7. Refinish the rotor, if required, with precision equip-
ment. Discard the rotor if it fails to meet the above
specifications after refinishing.
8. Install the rotor. Refer to ”Rotor” in this section.

DIAGNOSIS
LINING INSPECTION
1. Raise and suitably support the vehicle.
2. Remove the rear wheels. Refer to Section 2E, Tires
and Wheels.
3. Visually check the brake shoe linings for minimum
thickness and wear.
4. Measure the thickness.
Important : The minimum discard thickness of the brake
shoe lining is 2 mm (0.08 inch).
5. Install the shoes in axle sets only.
6. Install the rear wheels. Refer to Section 2E, Tires
and Wheels.
7. Lower the vehicle.
ROTOR INSPECTION
Brake rotors are manufactured with close tolerances for
thickness variation, flatness, and lateral runout, but pits
and grooves are created in rotors during usage. Lack of
uniformity of the braking surfaces of the rotor can cause
inadequate braking and a pulsating pedal during braking.
The surface finish of the rotor is also important because
an unsuitable surface finish can cause pulling and rapid
wear of the brake shoe lining. If a rotor does not meet the
specification, it should be refinished to specification or re-
placed. Refinishing of the rotor should only be done with
precision equipment.
Thickness variation can be checked by measuring the
thickness of the rotor at four or more points around the cir-
cumference of the rotor. All measurements must be made
at the same distance from the edge of the rotor. A rotor that
varies by more than. 1.0 mm (0.04 inch) can cause pedal
4E1 – 2IREAR DISC BRAKES
DAEWOO V–121 BL4
pulsation and/or front end vibration during braking. Thick-
ness can be measured with a commercially available mi-
crometer and should be 10 mm(0.39 inch) or over.
Light scoring of the rotor surfaces is acceptable if it does
not exceed 0.40 mm (0.016 inch) in depth. Scoring mea-
surements can be made with a commercially available
brake micrometer.
Lateral runout cannot exceed 0.8 mm (0.03 inch). If lateral
runout exceeds the specification, make sure that there is
no dirt between the rotor and the hub and that hub–to–ro-
tor contact surfaces are smooth and free from burrs. Use
a commercially available dial indicator to check the lateral
runout according to the following procedure.
1. Position the shift lever in NEUTRAL and raise the
vehicle.2. To preserve wheel balance, mark the relative posi-
tions of the wheel and hub, and remove the rear
wheel.
3. Fasten the brake rotor to the wheel hub.
4. Mount a dial indicator on the brake caliper.
5. Place the indicator tip approximately 10 mm (0.39
inch) from the outer edge of the brake rotor, per-
pendicular to the disc and under slight preload. Ob-
serve the indicator gauge while rotating the rotor.
6. After measuring is completed, remove the dial indi-
cator and the wheel nuts.
7. If necessary, refinish the rotor with precision equip-
ment. Measure the runout again after refinishing. If
the runout exceeds 0.8 mm (0.03 inch) after refin-
ishing, the rotor should be replaced.
8. Align the marks that were made before wheel re-
moval, and install the rear wheel.
9. Lower the vehicle.
