Brake Rotor Service

The key steps during disc brake service include
determining rotor refinishing or replacement,
properly cleaning all brake components
(including items such as hub, rotor, and
wheel mating surfaces), properly refinishing
the rotor (if applicable), and properly
reassembling the brake assembly
using the proper tools and torque
specification.
Here are some tips to ensure a
successful brake service and prevent
vibration and brake noise. Always refer
to the appropriate Service Information
or latest bulletins for specific proce-
dures. GM bulletin #00-05-22-022L is
a good resource that updates and
centralizes all of GM’s standard brake
service procedures.
Rotor Refinishing
When it’s determined that a rotor must be
refinished, use a brake micrometer to measure the
rotor. Multiple measure points should be taken and the
lowest measurement recorded. Reference the Minimum Thickness specification
stamped on the backside of the rotor and the Discard specification in the Service IN THIS ISSUE
Information before refinishing the rotor. Do not refinish new rotors or remove any
special coating that may be applied on some ACDelco replacement brake rotors.

Lateral runout is a measurement of the waviness of the rotor face. The GM
specification for excessive LRO is more than 0.050 mm (0.002 in.). Excessive
LRO occurs to a rotor when the brakes are not applied. When the vehicle is
being driven, any high spot on the rotor rubs the brake pad once per revolution. Volume 17, Number 1 (TS-PU-0013-10)
