Brakes specs on MD Inspection Report-99 Honda Accord
Do these specs indicate that my brakes will need to be replaced soon?
How many more miles do you think i'll get with these specs? Any Help is appreciated. Thanks. Drums/Discs: Left Front .854 inches line .827 inches/Rear right 8.661 inches line 8.700 inches. Pads/Linings: Left Front 8/32 Right Rear 4/32. |

I assume that "line" actually is "limit" sounds like your rear rotors are too worn to pass, I would get new pads and rotors for the rear. Fronts look OK. Actually your rear pads are probably OK but it would be silly to not get new pads at the same time you get rotors. good luck, nate |

Most states don't allow mechanics to pull wheels to inspect brakes during an inspection unless they have evidence they are worn. I would never let them touch my wheels. If anything, I would pull the wheels for them. |

MD inspections require checking front and rear brakes, I think. Its
been awhile... MD is one of those only-one-inspection required states, so they are a royal pain. Same with CT. NY requires checking linings on 1 front and 1 rear wheel. No minimum depth required, just can't be scraping. If linings are not visible, the wheel gets pulled. In CT any *suspected* rust (a small bubble) would be attacked with an icepick. Bastards. -D |

They are *required* to pull at least one wheel, front and rear, and to mic the rotors or drums, as appropriate. And yes, it is a royal PITA. It is a rare car that can get through MD inspection on the first shot, if it's more than a couple years old. Of course, since it's a one shot deal, people can drive all sorts of crap, so long as it passed inspection when they bought it... nate |

Just a correction on NYS, a front wheel must be pulled no matter what, rear
shoes fail under 1/32 if riveted 1/16 if bonded. If front are on the wear indicators they fail, deeply scored or rusted rotors can also fail. <spamTHISbrp@yahoo.com> wrote in message news:1131376401.789704.321300@g43g2000cwa.googlegr oups.com... > MD inspections require checking front and rear brakes, I think.

They are simply allowed to look at the front wheel brakes with the wheel on. They cannot touch the rear wheel (for drum brakes) at all unless they notice something. The idea is to get cars in and out fast and not go on a fishing expedition. Of course, inspection only cost $10 there when I was there in the late 90's. May have gone up a little since. Julie |
Re: Brakes specs on MD Inspection Report-99 Honda Accord
Thanks Nate, yes I meant "limit" not"line". The thing is, my car did
pass inspection with these specs. I wonder if I have any recourse with the inspection station, which is actually a Honda dealership. |

The official mechanics inspection manual issued by the State Police is about 100 pages long and goes into much further detail about inspection mechanics should and should not do. I'll see if I can dig up my copy later tonight. Julie |

The drum reading looks like an inside measurement; the more the wear the higher the reading. The drum still has metal left to wear. Kevin |

I just ASSumed that a vehicle that new would have 4-wheel discs and was looking for a number larger than the limit. In that case everything is legal and the only "marginal" part would be the rears but they still probably have a lot of life left in them unless you drive hard. nate |
