tangent line of this spot.
Suitable tension range: (29-54)N
The nuts should be retightened until falls within the suitable
range if the tension force is overlarge or over small.
(f) Check the bearing and ensure that the clearance, which is
not larger than 0.05 mm, is not excessive.
(g) Measure the bouncing value of the front brake disc face.
Bouncing value should not be above o.11mm.
