Easy way to measure brake rotor thickness accurately?

[mechanist]

I could have driven to e's place, taken off his tires, taken off his calipers, measured. Given the thumbs up or thumbs down, put it all back together, driven back home, and I'd still be back soon enough to reply to this exact posting at this exact time.

This is the Land Cruiser forum. Moderator please move this Delorean post somewhere else.

I'm new to the FSM - where are you guys finding the 30mm thickness value?

IIRC, it's in the brakes section under rotors and in the specifications section under brakes.

You were right - thank you. Found it on SS-35 under Brake Service Data.

Semi-old thread revival, but my $.02 would have been to take the opportunity to purchase a new tool that'd fit over the lip you refer to Eric.

I think I inherited a few of them when my FIL passed away.
