TESTING AND BLEEDING BRAKES

34 11 Front Brake E63

In case of M vehicle and perforated brake discs new brake pads may only be installed if the brake disc thickness is greater than the minimum brake disc thickness (MIN TH). Minimum brake disc thickness during general inspection (GI): M vehicles and perforated brake discs: Nominal size thickness minus 1.6 mm.
