CAUTION
Check for any end-play in the wheel
bearing before mounting the BRC 35
Brake Lathe.
A loose wheel bearing may cause a poor
surface finish.
If bearing play is adjustable, tighten nuts
slightly before machining, and then re-
adjust to factory specifications afterward.
If there is play in a non-adjustable bearing,
it should be replaced before machining the
rotor.
Most non-adjustable bearings are double-
row ball bearings that require pre-load.
Tapered roller bearings found on the front
of most rear wheel drive vehicles are
designed to operate with end-play.
