Glazing of brake linings
"Glazing" is the slow deterioration of the brake 
lining's coefficient of friction. This is caused by 
very light braking. Assessment of the braking 
surface is very difficult.
Glazing only rarely occurs with modern linings.
The wearing surface of the lining collects small 
particles of materials having lubricant properties. 
Generally, these particles are removed by 
braking hard a view times, or by turning the lining.
This creates a new wearing surface.

The stability of the coefficient of friction may vary 
considerably, depending on the quality of the 
lining.
It is therefore vital that original brake linings be 
used at all times.

2.19 INSPECTION, BRAKE PADS

Inspecting Knorr SB7000 brake pads
With wheels fitted:

If the guide sleeve (4) no longer protrudes (C) 
from the guide bush (6) but is flush with it 
(detail A), the brake pad thickness 
must be inspected with the wheels removed. 
See "Technical data".

Inspecting Knorr SN7000 brake pads
With wheels fitted:

The brake pad thickness can be checked on the 
basis of the position of the guide bush relative 
to the rubber bush.

At maximum brake pad thickness the rubber 
cover is stretched. Wear of the brake pads and 
movement of the brake calliper along the guide 
bushes will cause the rubber cover to roll up.

As soon as the transition from the ribbed section 
of the rubber cover to the smooth section (A) 
starts to roll inward, the brake pad thickness 
is to be checked with the wheels removed. 
See "Technical data".

2.20 INSPECTION, BRAKE DISCS

1.

Remove the wheels.

2.

Measure the disc thickness at different 
points to find the thinnest measurement. 
Compare the reading with the technical data. 
See "Technical data".

3.

Check the brake discs for signs of wear. 
See "Technical data".

Note:
The brake discs may be turned. 
See "Technical data".

2.21 INSPECTION, BRAKE CALLIPER PLAY

Inspection of the free movement of the brake 
calliper guide over the brake calliper carrier is the 
most important thing. That is why initially a simple 
inspection is carried out on the vehicle of the axial 
movement of the brake calliper when it is fitted.

General inspection
1.

Push and pull the brake calliper back and 
forth several times in the axial direction (A). 
This requires considerable effort.

2.

Check the play of the brake calliper in the 
axial direction (A). See "Technical data".
If the measured play is incorrect or the brake 
calliper cannot be moved along the guide 
bushes, it must be checked in more detail as 
follows.

Inspection of sliding ability
1.

Remove the brake pads.

2.

Turn the thrust pieces back completely using 
the adjusting bolt and the adapter.

3.

Clean the guide bushes where they are 
accessible.

4.

Check whether the brake calliper can be 
moved by hand along the full distance 
(more than 25 mm) (so without the use of 
tools).

Inspecting guide bush bearing play
1.

Pull the brake calliper as far as possible 
towards the outside of the vehicle (B).
