Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I am about to replace my brake on 996. How to I know when to replace the rotor? what tools to I need to measure if my rotor still good or need replacemnet. Thanks

POST 2Original post

You need a decent micrometer to measure the rotor thickness.

POST 3Original post

You need a dial caliper or 1" micrometer. Be sure to measure in the center avoiding any ridges that have developed at the edges. Th minimum thickness is stamped into the perimeter of the disc. Sand the edge with a 3M pad to find it. Be prepared to replace them as they are generally considered a wear item these days. However, they can be freshened by turning if they are not too far gone.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post
