POS VETT Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 I'm working on my Silverado front brakes and I need to resurface the rotors depicted in the picture below. What place can do it quickly, cheaply, and properly ? Please hurry, I need the truck in an hour to haul scrap concrete. http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk247/2003BlackZ06/Rotors_zps5d21f87e.jpg PS: I'm reusing the pads since they still have between 3-5mm thickness; beside rubbing them on concrete, what should be done to refresh them ?

Drewhop Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Those are fine. Just drive on them. First big stop will polish them right up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sully Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Lithium grease will shine those right up. Be sure to leave a coating of lithium on them to prevent future rust build-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHIEF Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 I'll still stand by the 'resurface old (not worn out) pads on a broom finished sidewalk instead of a disc finish' or whatever. But what do I know? I'm sure Buck will chime in being this is his favorite subject. New rotors = new pads.......carry on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHIEF Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 (edited) Eventhough this thread isn't the srs light, I'd be happy to prove it on old (yet turnable w/in spec knock off) rotors and grooved up pads that still have say 50% or so left. Hell Ill throw in a guarantee no squeak on top Edit: as long as the pads aren't advanced auto parts el cheapo $7 pads. Az's cheapo $7 pads are fine (and those suck). Edited February 9, 2013 by SHIEF Because advanced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POS VETT Posted February 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Nah, there is no supplemental restraint system in this thread. That's reserved for some other Friday in the future; perhaps quite near. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's reserved for some other Friday in the future; perhaps quite near. I figd the srs light wasn't on, but I'm the whole 'you can rub them on concrete guy' and got shit for it except for a.j. on here saying it would work if done right but didn't want to say he had my back on it lol. Understandable, saying he's never done it. Its funny because not many know me here (for the most part) so its easy to join up on some1 who doesn't post up the 'heres what I'm doin/have done' stuff. Just not me for the most part. But when I'm right, I'm right. Just know how knowledge from guys in their late 40's ~ 60's have shown me at a small well know shop.

unfunnyryan Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 glue sand paper to a heavy piece of glass (it's the most flat surface you'll have laying around) and rub them back and forth for a few days. Works for one side at least... wire brush on the other? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could run that shit till it made groves in your rotors and be ok. Its once you've gotten into the caliper its bad. I just saw concrete btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
