Im changing the discs on my LC (312mm)
I want to find out what the "disc runout" should be when fitting new discs to the front and rear. I want to ensure that they are seated correctly and squarely by measuring the "runout" i.e. the amount (in decimals of a mm or thousands of an inch) by which the disc can "wobble" when rotated. I can measure this with a dial gauge.

Anyone know this info?

Thanks

God your keen lol

I'd just throw them on, never had any trouble before, but then again never fitted brakes to a Seat (yet). Have you had them not fit properly before? As long as you clean up the hub with a wire brush or something I can't see you having any problems

it's screwed to the hub by a locating screw,then held in by wheel boltsX5.
so long as the faces are flush,not an amount worth worrying about.

while this is certainly thorough, its not usually required.
I would advise that you take a minute or two to ensure that the surfaces of the hub and diskus are clean and clear of any dirt or debris before you bolt the disk on.
