Can you legally machine rotors below minimum thickness?

Can you legally machine rotors below minimum thickness?

Compare the smallest value measured to the minimum thickness specifications stamped on the brake rotor. If the rotor is below the minimum thickness, the rotor must be replaced. If the parallelism is higher than 0.0006 inches (0.015mm), use an approved on car brake lathe and machine the brake rotor.

What should rotor thickness be?

Yes there is a minimum recommended rotor thickness, and it varies from brand to brand. Magura’s minimum recommended rotor thickness is 1.7mm. At that thickness, Magura recommends replacing them for several reasons, one being reduced heat stability.

What is the minimum amount that should be removed when turning rotors?

Rotors can be turned only about 1 or 2 millimeters before they become too thin for safe use and will have to be discarded and replaced. Brake rotors that have been repeatedly over heated may warp and create a vibration in the wheel.

Where is the minimum rotor thickness?

The rotor’s minimum thickness tells you the minimum operational level of your rotor. This level can be found engraved on the sides of the rotor, within the veins of the rotor, or on the hat of the rotor.

What are the specs of a Toyota Sienna?

How big are the front rotors on a Toyota?

True enough the specs for the front rotors are 26mm-28mm, and no shop will turn anything under that spec. But if you think about it, the 26mm spec has to have a bit of wiggle room in it. I mean Toyota probably was conservative in setting the range.

What’s the minimum rotor thickness for a Toyota Camry?

Original thickness for 99 Camry front disc is 28mm, minimum is 26mm. Do you know if it varies by rotor manufacturer? Sorry, I don’t. But I would be surprised if it does vary. You would think aftermarket manufacturers would have to comply with the same spec. Indeed they do as the min spec from the OEM is the standard for inspections.

What’s the minimum size of a Wagner rotor?

The Toyota specification sets the minimum (26mm). If Wagner produces a rotor that is less than that new, then it doesn’t meet the spec right out of the box. In other words, its not up to the aftermarket producer, it’s up to Toyota. So, your Wagner rotor at 25mm is too thin.
