INTRODUCTION
American Honda does not allow replacement of brake discs under warranty unless the brake disc is beyond its service limit for refinishing. If the brake disc is within its service limit, you must refinish it. See the appropriate service information for the specifications.
Refinish brake discs only when they are scored or out of specification for runout or parallelism. See the appropriate service information for the specifications.
American Honda requires refinishing of brake discs with an on-car brake lathe that mounts to the steering knuckle or hub using specially designed Honda specific adapters. It is critical to use an on-car steering knuckle-mounted lathe because it corrects the hub and disc runout as an assembly. Even a very small amount of runout, which may not be felt initially, will grow and will be felt as brake pulsation as the disc are subjected to heat and wear over time and mileage.
On-car brake lathes approved by American Honda can be found in the Honda Tool and Equipment program catalog on the iN (select Service > Service Bay > Tool and Equipment Program >Online Catalog). From there, select Table of Contents > Alignment, Wheel, and Brake Equipment > On-Car Brake Lathes and Accessories. Refer to the instructions supplied with the brake lathe for mounting and operating instructions.
