Brake Inspection
WARNING
Do not apply WD-40® or any petroleum product
to brake discs. These types of products are flammable and may also
reduce the friction between the brake pad and caliper.
-
Check the brake system for fluid leaks.
-
Check the brake pedal for excessive travel or a spongy feel.
-
Check the friction pads for wear, damage and looseness.
-
Check brake discs for signs of cracks, excessive corrosion, warping or other damage. Clean any grease using an approved brake cleaner or alcohol.
-
Inspect the brake disc spline and pad wear surface for excessive wear. Change pads when worn to 0.180” (4.6 mm) 1.
