Meaning of 'check brakes' per maintenance manual S70 1998

posted by  someone claiming to be Louis H on  Thu May 4 07:06 CST 2006 [RELATED]

Does this mean visually checking pad thickness without taking them out, or should it be taking the guide pins out and lubricate them? I had 4 rotors plus pads replaced by the dealer at 64k kilometres. Now at 125k, the right rear caliper partially seized, the rotor was scored and I had to replace the caliper, both roters and pads at the rear. I had been taking the car to the dealer every 8k kilometres for regualr maintenance, and one of the items on the service manual is "check brakes". Looks like the dealer visually checked pad thickness without lubricating the calipers. Should the manual said something like "lubricate brake calipers and check pad thickness"? I remember my old Honda Accord service manual always said something like "lubricate brake calipers". Comments?
