lightly apply the service brakes.

b)

lightly apply the parking brake.

c)

repeatedly tap the service brakes.

d)

pull hard on the parking brake lever.

17.

Technician A says that when measuring a rotor's thickness variation, you should measure the rotor in a minimum of five to eight places around the face of the rotor.
