If the brake rotor exhibits any of the
conditions listed previously, it requires
replacement.
Does the brake rotor require
REPLACEMENT?
Go to Step 21
Go to Step 22
21
Replace the brake rotor. Refer to Front Brake
Rotor Replacement (JH6, JH7) or Front
Brake Rotor Replacement (JD9, JF3, JF7)
or Rear Brake Rotor Replacement (JD9) or
Rear Brake Rotor Replacement (JH6) or
