What causes rotor runout?
What could have caused the lateral runout? The causes of the condition range from lugs that were over or unevenly torqued to common corrosion between the hub and rotor. There are other causes, such as the rotor machined to less-than-minimum thickness and overheating.
How to clean brake rotor on Mercedes GL450?
8. Use a T30 bit to remove the brake rotor set screw. Remove and discard the brake rotor. If the rotor is rusted on to the hub, you will need to whack it with a hammer from the back a few times. 9. Once the rotor is removed, use a wire brush to clean the rust off the hub. 10. Lubricate the center of the hub with some anti-seize. 11.
What are the different types of brake rotors?
Every brake rotor has the manufacturer’s indicated thickness when new as well as the minimum allowable for safe use. The 3 types of brake rotor thickness specs are: Nominal rotor thickness- the thickness of the brake disc when new. “Machine to” rotor thickness- the least thickness allowable when resurfacing or machining the brake disc.
What’s the minimum thickness for a Mercedes Benz rotor?
Don’t know the minimum thicknes (on other brands it was stamped on rotors) but MB doesn’t allow rotors resurfacing. So rule of thumb is, that if you see about 1 mm “flange” at the edge of the rotors and/or groves on the surface -it is time for new ones.
What’s the minimum thickness for a disc brake?
Disc Brake Rotor Minimum Thickness (also known as Scrap Thickness) is the minimum safe working thickness of a rotor at which it must be replaced. Risk: Continued operation at or below Rotor Minimum Thickness can lead to Brake system failure. As the rotor reaches its minimum thickness, the braking distance increases, sometimes up to 4 meters.
What kind of brake pads does Mercedes GL450 use?
This article is relevant to 2007-2012 GL450 as well as GL320, GL350 and GL550. As for the parts, I used Zimmerman coated rotors, Jurid front pads and Textar rear pads. For some reason Mercedes used Jurid pads as OEM in the front and Textar in the back. Torque wrench. Torque angle wrench. C-Clamp.
What’s the minimum rotor thickness for a Mercedes 500?
I took my 2005 ML 500 to a very honest and professional brake specialist on race and import cars, he laughed at me when I mentioned that the ML rotors should not be turned and that Mercedes recommended changing them. He turned my rear rotors to an impecable finish and still the rotors were way over the minimum thickness.
