Rotor stuck on hub? rusted together? well heres a simple trick with something anyone has laying around their garage or tool bag. #mechanic #howto #tricks
How would you recommend swimming some brass between the rotor and the bolt? Granted if the rotor is stuck that bad its probably time to change it but if it's still in good condition perhaps brass shims could save the surface of the rotor
Not a half bad idea! Or they have stud installers u could possibly use that have a bearing that would keep it from spinning on the rotor. Honestly if it were my personal vehicle I would reuse them anyway the brake pad would smooth it back up.
@@TheMechaninition I agree if the rotor is stuck and you're changing a bearing or something I'd try to keep the rotor surface unmarred but me personally I wouldn't want to do all that work for the pad to have a shortened lifespan from the surface damage as little as it may be but it's a case by case thing and a very small dab of anti-sieze on the mating surface would also help next time if you're in the rust belt
Yes absolutely, I am in the rust belt and sometimes I do use anti seize on the hub of the rotor it is also great for HD Lug nuts that like to rust such as on the dodge 2500 and up
