15 years in the north the rotor would be non existentAh, OK. Thanks.
Still, where things rust, like my house, a minute of prep saves hours of difficulty years from now…
Why not just take the screw out and throw it away?First time I rotate the tires on a new vehicle the rotor retaining screw always gets a dose of anti seize on the threads. Saves on future work.
I'd imagine it burns off.I'm curious when I go to do my wife's SUV--I DIY'd on a lift in a shop, and at the time they were on the car 7 years and took a lot of whacks. I put so much anti seize on the backs and the hubs, my uncle laughed (he got me access to the lift) and said I'm really wasting the anti seize, there's no need to use that much. I would expect that years doesn't affect it and the rotors all come off, but I can't say for sure...(job was done 2018)
15 years, though, I’ve gone through at least a couple sets of brakes.15 years in the north the rotor would be non existent
215,000 miles actually. Still has about 1/16" until it gets to the wear indicator. The inside of one rotor is worn due to me running the pads to the backing plate and then some. I don't ever hear squeaking until I'm metalnon metal, then it's a dull rough grinding noise lol you get your moneys worth out of these diesel trucks, the parts last a lot longer. I've gone through like 3 sets of pads by now, but yeah original rotors15 years, though, I’ve gone through at least a couple sets of brakes.
So, this is an original, 15 year old rotor? That’s an incredibly long life. I would drive 150,000 miles in that time and I don’t drive much!
Never thought of that. Good idea, I will use on upcoming rotation for a SubaruFirst time I rotate the tires on a new vehicle the rotor retaining screw always gets a dose of anti seize on the threads. Saves on future work.
Wheel bearing was already bad.After beating on it that hard plan on replacing the wheel bearing soon
Fords use teh little clip that goes around one or two studs per corner. First time the tires are off I cut them off and away they go.First time I rotate the tires on a new vehicle the rotor retaining screw always gets a dose of anti seize on the threads. Saves on future work.
This is what I do, some cherry red between each stud up close to the center..,..works great on drums too.A torch to apply heat around where the rotor hat slips on the hub. It will expand and the beat the shift out of it.
