Tool Aid 65300 In-Line Brake Pad Gauge, Metric Scale, Calibrated for 6 mm Backing Plate

Tool Aid 65300 In-Line Brake Pad Gauge, Metric Scale, Calibrated for 6 mm Backing Plate

• Tool Aid 65300 is an in-line brake pad gauge designed to measure brake pad thickness on many vehicles without removing the wheels. It uses a metric scale with a color gauge for quick readings and is calibrated for a 6 mm backing plate when checking internal and external brake pads.
• Features:
  • In-line gauge design helps measure brake pad thickness on many vehicles without removing wheels, saving inspection time.
  • Color gauge supports quick at-a-glance readings during routine brake checks.
  • Measures both internal and external brake pads to support more complete brake inspections.
  • Calibrated for a 6 mm backing plate to help convert a gauge reading to brake pad lining thickness.
  • Metric scale supports consistent measurements during service documentation and inspection.

Q: Can this gauge be used without removing the wheels?
A: The in-line design is intended to allow brake pad thickness checks on many vehicles without removing the wheels, depending on access to the pad and rotor area.

Q: Does it measure both inner and outer brake pads?
A: Yes. It is designed to measure both internal and external brake pads to support a more complete inspection.

Q: How do I account for the backing plate thickness?
A: It is calibrated for a 6 mm backing plate. If the backing plate thickness differs, adjust the final lining thickness based on the difference between the backing plate thickness and 6 mm.

Q: Is the scale metric only?
A: Yes. The gauge scale is specified as metric for measuring and recording brake pad thickness.
