Attention! The pads are changed only as a set for one axle. When cleaning the pads, remove dust and dirt by wiping with a rag soaked in alcohol or a special liquid; blowing is prohibited.
Checking and removing
1. Loosen the wheel nuts, lift the car and place it on stands. Remove the wheels and tighten the wheel nuts back to secure the rim to the hub (to ensure that force is applied to the disk, washers can be put on).
2. Remove the caliper and set it aside.

3. Check the condition of the disc on both sides. If traces of deep wear are found (depth more than 0.38 mm) remove the disc and polish it. If traces of rivets of the pads are found on the surface of the disc, as shown in the figure, replace the disc.

4. Check the runout using a dial indicator. If the runout exceeds the norm, remove the disk and grind it.
Attention! It is generally recommended to periodically remove the disk and polish it depending on the indicator readings. At least, this can be done by hand with fine sandpaper to reduce the roughness.

6. After checking, unscrew the wheel nuts and remove the disk.
