Honda Pilot: Rear Brake Disc Inspection

Inspection

1. Vehicle - Lift

2. Rear Wheels - Remove

3. Brake Pad - Remove

4. Brake Disc/Drum Thickness and Parallelism - Inspect

1. Using a micrometer (A), measure the brake disc/drum or disc thickness at eight points, about 45 º apart and 10 mm (0.39 in) in from the outer edge of the brake disc/drum.

   Replace the brake disc/drum if the smallest measurement is less than the maximum refinishing limit.

Brake disc/drum thickness:

  Standard: 11.0 mm (0.433 in)

  Maximum refinishing limit: 9.0 mm (0.354 in)

Brake disc/drum parallelism*: 0.015 mm (0.00059 in) max.

* This is the maximum allowable difference between the thickness measurements.

2. If the brake disc/drum is beyond the service limit for parallelism, refinish the brake disc/drum with a Honda-approved commercially available on-car brake lathe.

   NOTE: For more information on Honda-approved brake lathes, refer to any authorized service information related to brake disc refinishing if available.

   If the brake disc/drum is beyond the service limit for refinishing, replace it.

3. Inspect the brake disc/drum runout.

5. Rear Brake Disc/Drum Runout - Inspect

1. Inspect the brake disc/drum to wheel surface for damage and cracks.
2. Clean the brake disc/drum thoroughly, and remove all rust.
3. Install suitable flat washers (A) and the wheel nuts (B).
4. Tighten the wheel nuts to the specified torque to hold the brake disc securely against the hub.
5. Set up the dial gauge (C) against the brake disc/drum as shown.
6. Measure the runout at 10 mm (0.39 in) from the outer edge of the brake disc/drum.

Brake disc/drum runout:

  Service limit: 0.04 mm (0.0016 in)

7. If the brake disc/drum is beyond the service limit, refinish the brake disc/drum with a Honda-approved commercially available on-car brake lathe.

Maximum refinishing limit: 9.0 mm (0.354 in)

NOTE:

• For more information on Honda-approved brake lathes, refer to any authorized service information related to brake disc refinishing if available.
• If the brake disc/drum is beyond the service limit for refinishing, replace it.
• If the brake disc/drum is replaced with a new one, check the new disc/drum for runout. If the new disc/drum is out of specification, refinish the disc/drum.
