• Check that sliding surfaces of discs, plate and flange are not worn or burnt. If necessary replace them.
  NOTE:

  • If disc lining is exfoliated, discolored or worn hardly, replace all discs.
  • If only a part of printed numbers is corroded, replace all discs.
  • Before assembling new discs, soak them in A/T fluid for at least 15 minutes.
