Common questions about manuals, registration, and support for this brand.
No, TBM Revolution Rotors are non-directional and designed to be flipped in either direction, allowing you to use the offset to properly center and space the rotor and caliper package.
TBM strongly recommends using TBM Extreme 6 High Performance DOT 5.1 brake fluid, which is compatible with DOT 3 and DOT 4. NEVER use silicone-based DOT 5 fluid, as it will swell the seals and ruin performance.
Use the supplied mil-spec shims so the rotor is centered in the caliper, and the caliper is perfectly parallel to the rotor. The needed shims may vary from side to side.
TBM recommends replacing your brake pads anytime the friction material thickness drops below 0.100 inches.
TBM Brakes feature a durable Electroless Nickel finish. Clean them using a standard household stainless steel appliance cleaner by spraying, waiting 60 seconds, and wiping off. Avoid harsh solvents that could compromise braking performance.
