(Disc is fine with me....) There is a really good site which discusses some of the issues involved with disc service. http://www.babcox.com/editorial/bf/bf100326.htm I would suggest that anyone contemplating working on his or her disc brakes read this carefully. There is good information here which applies to essentially any disc brake system, regarding two types of variations in the disc, what causes them, and how to do the job so that you get the best results. Hope it helps.

I know this because the bolts that worked in the front rotors did not fit the rear drums. Same principle though.

Tap on the section between the hub and the disc witha ball peen hammer to loosen the rust. Thanks, Tegger! |
