Fig. 1: If inspecting the thickness of the brake pads,
the pads are visible through the two openings in the caliper unit

The brake pads can be visually inspected after the front wheels have been removed. A cut out in the top of the caliper is provided. Check the lining thickness of both the outboard and inboard pads. If the lining is worn within 1⁄8 inch (3mm) of its metal backing (check local inspection requirements) replace all of the brake pads.
