February 16, 200422 yr I was wondering if anyone had the specs for the brake rotor thickness, mine are looking like they may need to be replaced and i don't want to if i don't have to. its regular wagon GL front but its XT/GL-10/RX rear disc in the back. On that note, if someone has general specs, like those and others like capacities, and stuff, i really can't think of much now, but it would be nice to get that on the USRM. On a completely different note, the distributor should be coming in from Philbin Group in Oregon on Wednesday and the Engine from CCR on Thursday and we will be celebrating the blesed union of engine and 88 DL on Thursday night, and it looks like its a match made in heaven.
February 16, 200422 yr Front rotors: 18mm thickness Std. 16mm thickness service limit 242mm diameter Rear rotors: 10mm thickness Std. 8.5mm thickness service limit 226mm diameter 270 ml (9.1 fl oz) dot 3 or 4 brake fluid required for the system.
October 24, 200520 yr Author Huzzah for bringing back the dead post. Flow, is that for the EA-82 or the EA-81? Cause now i need the specs for the EA-81
December 5, 200718 yr Bump an old post to prove that I don't ALWAYS just post a new thread when I have a dumb question. Is 16 mm REALLY the minimum thickness for my vented, FWD EA82 rotor??? 87, GL-10, 3AT, 2WD... I replaced my brake pads today (too late, one rotor is scored and needs to be resurfaced or replaced anyhow, I will do that later and eat a new set of cheap pads.) Anyhow my rotors were more like 12 or 13 mm thick, and honestly it didnt seem like I could dial the piston too much further into the caliper... but if 16 mm is the minimum service tolerance, then I must be lacking some SERIOUS thickness.... TIA.
December 5, 200718 yr I don't know man, but I Just off the top off my head 13 mm seems way too small. 16 mm seems about right.
December 5, 200718 yr Hmm. It doesn't LOOK too alarmingly small, but I'm the guy who thought his spark plugs were mighty pretty back in March and April...... Well, it stops good enough. I have had to pump the pedal once ever since I got the car; maybe I need to bleed the brakes properly (didn't realize there was a specific order, and when I did the rears before I joined USMB, I couldn't get that last bit of pedal back) but is it possible that thin rotors could cause something that feels like a hydraulic issue?? In any case, for the time being I am running on skinny rotors... O well, I already knew I was running on at least one that was in need of resurfacing. :-\ At least I know the numbers now. You never know what might be found on a car in the JY.. but rotors are cheap enough. I'll probly search and post again when its time to change the rotors.
