Hey All,

I wanted some pointers .. First off my rotors are warped again (cross drilled and slotted ), so I want to take them off and go to the local Autozone to get them resurfaced for 6.00. Ive never done this before but Im assuming its not too hard. I wanted to know, in a nutshell what this involves cause I DO NOT want to do it wrong.

I think there are 2 or 3 bolts to the caliper and then 3 or 4 on the rotor itself. Does this sound right? I want to start to do more things and NOT go to the dealership so these small repairs. Too bad my Helms manual is lost!!

Thanks!

 

Real easy. Theres 2 bolts holding the caliper to the hub. They're where you can't see, so stick you head in there to see which ones to remove. Remove them with a 14mm wrench. Hang the calipers to the upper a arm with a coathanger.
The rotors are a little tricky if there the same as the Ludes. Theres a phillips head screw that holds the rotor on the hub that has to be impacted out. Having a compressor makes this easy. I had to go buy an impact driver for about $10. Its this big steel bar thingy with interchangable bits that you beat with a hammer. Its crude but it works well.

Hope this helps!

 

that being said.

I would suggest against resurfacing. If you are having problems with your cross drilled/slotted. Then go buy some blanks.

 

how did you warped them? in a racetrack or something like that, cuz in the streets of US is almost imposible.

what brand of rotors are those? and what brake pads did you use?

 

I've warped em too. I just turned them and they haven't done it since. I guess I didn't follow break-in period.
