Examination
Raise the front of the car and secure it on stands. Remove the corresponding front wheel.
Temporarily tighten the 2 wheel bolts diagonally. Install the nuts with the flat side facing the brake disc.
Clean the disc from corrosion and check it for wear and defects. Using a micrometer, check the disc thickness (see figure 9.18).
Using a dial gauge, check brake disc runout. It is checked at a distance of 10 mm from the outer edge of the disc (see fig. 9.19).

Unscrew the screw securing the brake disc to the hub and remove the disc.
