REPAIR PROCEDURE

1. Remove the front brake pads and shims:
   • Refer to page 19-14 of the 2005–06 Odyssey Service Manual, or
   • Online, enter keyword PAD, and select Front Brake Pad Inspection and Replacement from the list.
2. Measure the brake disc thickness:
   • Refer to page 19-17 of the service manual, or
   • Online, enter keyword DISC, and select Front Brake Disc Inspection from the list.
   • Note the measurements on the back of the repair order hard copy.
   • If the disc is within service limits, go to step 3.

3. Refinish both front brake discs with an on-car brake lathe. Use the approved Kwik-Way or Snap-on brake lathe. Do not refinish the front discs off the vehicle because disc runout cannot be adequately eliminated by this method.
