Brake Rotor Cleaning and Fitment Guide

The document provides a guide for fitting brake rotors, emphasizing the importance of cleaning the rotor and ensuring proper fitment to avoid issues like excessive runout and Disc Thickness Variation (DTV). It instructs on checking hub bearing tolerances, cleaning mounting surfaces, and tightening wheel nuts in a specific sequence. Additionally, it includes information about thermographic heat paint for monitoring rotor temperatures during operation.

ROTOR FITMENT GUIDE BRAKE ROTOR

CLEANING YOUR ROTOR


Before fitting disc rotor, apply brake cleaner to cloth and wipe
friction andmounting faces clean.

DO NOT WIPE OR SPRAY THE PAINTED HAT AREA


AND - IF PAINTED - AROUND THE OUTSIDE EDGE.

ATTENTION!
EN-SHIELD ROTORS DO NOT
REQUIRE CLEANING

IMPORTANT FITMENT • Check that the wear tolerance in the hub bearings is within the
manufacturer’s tolerance.
INFORMATION FOR HAT
• Clear rotor to hub mounting surfaces thoroughly with a wire
TYPE ROTORS brush and emery paper to remove all rust scale and debris.

• Check rotor to hub mounting surfaces for damage, burrs and/or


distortion. Repair or replace if necessary.

• Failure to have ‘a’ clean and smooth hub/rotor mounting


surface(s) can result in the rotor being mounted with excessive
runout.

• The installed runout of the rotor must not exceed 0.05mm.


Excessive runout will result in DTV (Disc Thickness Variation)
being worn into the rotor.

• DTV will cause pedal pulsation, steering shudder or vibration


during braking.

TIGHTENING WHEEL NUTS Tighten wheel nuts in a criss-cross sequence shown in the
diagram by hand and check with a torque wrench. Failure to
tighten nuts in a criss-cross sequence can cause uneven clamping
of the rotor.
Ensure all nuts are tightened to the torque recommended by the
vehicle manufacturer.
Aftermarket wheels may require different wheel nut tightening
torques. If in doubt seek advice from manufacturer or supplier.

THERMOGRAPHIC HEAT 4000 Series brake rotors have three heat-sensitive


coloured markings.
PAINT (TGHP) These marking allow the monitoring of the temperature that the
rotor has experienced, and help manage operation within the
recommended working temperatures.
