Description of Operation
Description of Operation
Actuation/Release of the Brake
On braking, the lever is actuated by the brake chamber. The
external and internal radii of the inner part of the lever do not
have a common center, which means that the crossbar is moved
axially in the direction of the brake disc. The force is transferred
from the crossbar via adjustment screws and thrust plates to the
inner pad. When the pad comes into contact with the brake disc,
the caliper is moved on slide pins so that the outer pad also
comes into contact with the brake disc.
When the brake is released, the return spring forces the
crossbar back into its rest position, so that the design clearance
between pad and brake disc is achieved.
Self-Adjusting Adjustment
The brake operates according to the clearance principle. The
brake sequence is divided into three phases: Design Clearance
- C, Excess Clearance - Ce (which is to be adjusted out), and
Elasticity - E.
The housing of the adjuster is held in position against the
internal radius of the lever by a guide pin. The adjuster housing
consequently follows the movement of the lever. The rotational
motion is transferred from housing to adjustment spring which in
turn, after passing the design clearance, transmits the motion of
the companion sleeve, friction spring and hub.

Application
Description of Operation
C - During the movement through C, the design clearance is
measured between the pad and brake disc by the adjuster.
There is a predetermined clearance between the tongue of the
adjustment spring and the slot in the companion sleeve, which
determines the free stroke before the adjustment.

Ce - If excess clearance remains after the mechanism has
moved radially in accordance with the design clearance C, the
adjuster, synchronization shaft, pinions, crown wheels, adjusting
shaft/readjustment shaft and the adjustment screws are turned.
The rotation of the adjustment screws means that a percentage
of the measured excess Ce is removed.
In the adjuster, the turning movement is transferred from the
housing via the adjustment spring, companion sleeve, and
friction spring to hub, which engages with the synchronization
shaft.

Replacing Rotor
1. Prior to rotor installation, clean and inspect wheel bearings
and replace seals following instructions in WESM-0060.
2. Inspect torque plate for cracks and obvious damage.
Replace as required.
3. Check fasteners and tighten as required to OEM
recommended torque specs.
4. Position rotor on mounting surface of wheel/hub.
5. Install fasteners and tighten to torque specifi cations.
6. Re-install ABS tone ring (if previously removed).

2 – Dial indicator
2. Rotate rotor through at least two full revolutions and check
lateral runout.
3. Record maximum runout indicated.
4. Repeat Steps 1-3 for the opposite rotor face.
5. If total indicated runout on either face is:
• less than .5 mm (0.21 in.) - rotor is good.
• more than .5 mm (0.21 in.) - resurface or replace rotor.
Note: Disc Thickness Variation (DTV) maximum .1 mm (.004 in.)
measure around rotor.

Replacing Rotor
Cleaning and Inspection
1. Wire brush circumference of rotor to remove dirt and rust, and
then clean rotor in a non-toxic, greaseless cleaner.
CAUTION: Use of a petroleum-based cleaning solvent
!
may leave a residue which could
damage lining material.
2. Visually inspect rotor for heat checks, cracks, grooving, or
scoring beyond a depth of .030". If the rotor is:
• cracked - replace rotor.
• heat checked, but no cracks - reuse rotor.
Note: Many heat checks are similar in appearance to cracks.
If in doubt, a crack is defi ned as a "surface split"
radiating into or from an edge of the rotor and/or
over 75% in length.
• grooved or scored -
- less than .030" - reuse rotor as is
- more than .030" - resurface rotor
Rotor Resurfacing
1. The rotor should be resurfaced by mounting in an appropriate
brake lathe and removing the least amount of material
possible to ensure a smooth face.
2. Depending on the amount of braking surface scoring present,
every effort should be made to remove equal amounts from
each rotor face.
Note: Before installing on the vehicle, ensure that the rotor is
clean and re-inspected. After installing on vehicle, verify
that the lateral runout is within specifi cation. See "Rotor
Runout Check" section.
Good Rotor:
More than 43 mm (1.7 in.)
Replace Rotor:
Less than 43 mm (1.7 in.)
3. Measure thickness of area between rotor faces. The rotor
must be replaced if thickness is less than 41 mm (1.61 in.).
