If the runout of the brake disc exceeds the limit specification, replace the disc, and then measure the runout again.
If the runout does not exceed the limit specification, install the brake disc after turning it 180° and then check the runout of the brake disc again.
If the runout cannot be corrected by changing the position of the brake disc, replace the brake disc.
