How To Remove Rust On Brake Discs Rotors, Best And Easiest Technique To Remove Rust 

NB: Watch this video before you purchasing eny brake discs and pads on your car. About 70% of brake discs are replaced without the real need for replacement and without checking the condition of disc pads properly. 🙁🙁Don't do this mistake again, save your money and environment🌿🌞🍃🌴🌱🌷 Watch my video first. (You need a medium good Grinding Stone any type for 5 to 10 Dollar)

My car sat for a whole year due to Covid. When I drove it for the first time after a while, I was hearing noises similar to 3:35 with fairly new brakes. Brakes aren't cheap so this definitely helped a lot, thank you!

I just use an angle grinder and 60 grit flap disk and takes a out 15 mi utes per rotor (both sides). Great results and no vibration.

This video is why RU-vid can sometimes be so brilliant. Thanks a lot my friend, from Norway.

Thanks for a really useful video. I'm not looking forward to doing this, but I wasn't looking forward to buying new brake disks either. One more thing to be aware of - some cars don't like it when one wheel turns for a long time like this. The management system interprets it as a fault and the ABS warning light comes on. In my experience it's nothing to worry about; drive it around for a while, it'll sort itself out and the warning light will go out.

Thank you for speeding up useless details. No endless talk. Good job.

Thanks man, nice method! Will save people living in salty areas a lot of money - if they have the time and basic skills to do that.

Brilliant,. Worked perfectly for me.

Better Lift Up Both Wheel, And Then Just Put Anythings On One Side Of Wheel To Block It From Spinning... It Will Be More Safe By Doing That.... By The Way, Really Nice Video, Really Helpful... :)

great video thanks you for making it, my car only does about 2,000 miles a year, so will save me money doing this

Brilliant work this is fantastic man. The watter idea is awesome 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Very nice my car been standing outside in snow for a year and brake are rusted very bad

Your work is awesome, love it!...I live in NY State, so got a question as if I were to do this myself, as close possible to what you did, and then proceed to get it inspection, what's to stop any shop from telling me, "You just worked on these by hand, sorry...not going to pass them unless "WE" rework them again!"....do have a vehicle needing inspection soon....but of course if the vehicle on the road for awhile before an inspection was due, no one probably couldn't tell the difference of the work by hand!....yea, I'm caught between a pad, and a rotor!...lol, thanks again for your handy work!

Great video man, thank you! Though I wondered, If you're working there, you might as well clean and lube the caliper and it's components :)

Your work is awesome, love it! Simple Easy and cheap, and its working. Thanks 😀😀😀😀😀😀👍👍👍👍

well done, no bs, just facts 💯👍👍

Thank you, great video. God bless you.

Pull off all four discs and soak in white distilled vinegar overnight.. scrub lightly and rinse.. DONE. I give you credit for hard work.. but please if someone does this method, don't dry sand the rotors. That dust is toxic and you don't want to be breathing it in.

Love your accent Norsk

Great old school trick👍 would appreciate more videos

Thanks for the awesome tip. I want to try it on my Pilot (4x4) and not sure how 4x4 works. If I jack up front two wheels and put it in gear, will that move rear wheels too? Or I have to jack up all 4 wheels?

Hey great video and your english is very good but what are the names of the all the tools you used? thank

1o1 of losing fingers while breathing asbestos dust. Nice 😂😂😂

This would only work if you DO NOT have a limited slip differential, it is recommended you lift the whole front of the vehicle up if you intend to use this method, I would not leave a power wheel sitting in the ground… very dangerous.

whats the block is using to clean them with

Rotors can rust if a car has been sitting for a week in rainy weather. Just driving it will shine the rotors. No need to do this every time they are rusty.

thanks for this ,i can tell ur iranian great mechanics :)

Very good, I posted this on Twitter, thanks man. I am sure there are lots of cars with rust now after being stood during Lockdown !

How does this work with automatic? do you just leave the calliper on during grinding? (Since you need to push brakes to put the car in gear)

Good job. But I was scared for your fingers entire time . 😂

Can used this idea.

What grit level is the sandpapaer?

very good idea, make a video, when there is no leak, brake pads and disc are good, but pedal is low., what is the reason, master cylinder or anything .

very good tricks thank you

Thanks. If the car is a four wheel automatic and was in neutral gear would the wheel spin if that side of the wheel was jacked up?

Use 200 grit sand paper for fineshing

Can i use sand paper on brake discs?

Where did you Bought the Grinding Stone? BTW Awesome trchnicque...👍👍

Amazing video, thank you for the tips

I wouldn't do that more than one time per rotor because it doesn't take much to throw a cars brakes off spec. Great method for older cars but just be careful with the newer.

now, that's genius !

Great video, learned alot. Many thanks.

This is a good resurfacing technique to get things smooth. Always wear a respirator, and safety glasses,protect your lungs and eyes. If you just need to remove the rust off the rotor and they are the style like in this video where you can unscrew and remove them you can just soak them in vinegar and it will dissolve most of the rust off of them. This will make the work easier and you can see more of what you are doing as far as surface.

The vehicle won't roll off the jack? 100% all cars? What about all-wheel drive?

The diff🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

NB: For a such deep rust, nothing can help except my method. Vinengar is good for only surface rust , not deep one. believe me I tried

Noob here. How is only one wheel spinning? Is this a standard feature for all cars? (Qashqai here)

Thank you so much!

I like the procedure, but you didn’t describe any materials used. What grade of hand file was used and was that a whetstone, if so how fine was it?

Excelent work, mate ! 👍

Imagine prolonging the life of a tesla like this. Prolonging the life of an older car is 100 times greener

That is thinking outside the box. Thank you for that. I laughed so hard the first time I read your replies and you typed ' the dick is hard '. It took a few seconds before i realised you meant the 'disc' is hard. Innocent mispelled words are always the funniest. Great to learn a few tricks to prevent throwing away useable parts

Looks brand spanking new again-

Nice👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿

What is the limite of thickness ?

the angle of the camera is getting too much light.

soak them in vinegar overnight . wipe off . wash off with water . and wd40 them . like new then

Are you an Iranian 😁😀

Question Is the grade of sandpaper used important? I plan on trying this myself. Would appreciate an answer Thank you 🙏

I have 4 wheel drive, what's the procedure for making the wheels spinning Please

Excellent thanks👍

Yes but how would I get rust of rear discs on a front wheel drive car?

WOW! 😮😲😳

Unsafe--what if he caught his sleeve in the turning rotor? And how can you do this on the non-drive side?

Holy 🤔 For German Mechanicans its to hard to see 😁

داداش شما ایرانی نیستی؟؟؟لهجه انگلیسیت خیلی فارسیه.😁

Working on a rotating brake rotor is wrong on so many levels.

Good technicals :D

Hello, is it possible to do without taking off the caliper?

This looks like something the Iraqis or Afghanis would do to preserve and keep their stuff running.

Would this only wrk for front wheel drives for it to spin??

Veldig nyttig

Doing the fronts on my rwd... need to figure a way to get it spinning of you have any ideas?

And paying up to $10 for a grinding stone ? You can easily get a pair of new discs for £25.

Does that method of 1 wheel turning on a all wheel drive car and would you loose friction if the rotor is thinner then it was?

My guy said find a bottle of water and fill it with water

what tool are you using at 1:45?

just from hearing I can instantly tell this is a 1.4 16v :'D

Very rusty..need lube

Baba jon are u Iranian man living the dream life in Norway?

So what about the rear discs?

Never hang a caliper by the brake hoses, and force in a brake piston that way with stilsons or similar, you will cut into the protective rubber ,

That caliper shows some weird value. The mechanical scale was showing over 20mm

I am lazier than you. I just dip in a bucket of vinegar and check back next day.

I hope you and your followers wear mask when doing this cause rust is bad for the human body. Also, I thought the brakes bleeder suppose to be open when pressing the caliper pistons.

DON'T DO THIS

The way you have jacked up the car not really safe if that wood gives way look out

Forget fixing or buying new discs, just replace the car!

👍🇻🇳💝

Why don’t just go to machine shop to resurface the disc!

Greending

With them gloves on and they catch the moving rotors your asking for a nasty accident

Dont do this, thats so dangerous, youre lucky you have all fingers still. If your willing to go this far take the disc off and either replace it or take it to a local machine shop, theyll just turn the surface clean in a few mins

Kauf eine neue Bremsscheibe diese ist abgenutzt und der Arbeitsaufwand ist die Ersparnis nicht wert.

OMG the disc is on min. thickness for shure...... thats a VW, the discs for that shit kost maby an apple and an egg....

sorry no quattro 🤣

Norge ja! Uten sukker på flaska

BR 30786 xD

I hate you. I thought I was being clever thinking of doing it with a sanding stone instead of a lathe or power tools but you beat me to the punch. Congrats

Im sure that car will have smooth stops, LOLOL NOT!
