Wilsons Sandbox

Mark, You might could try some coarse sandpaper and lightly scuff the swept surface of the rotor. A piece folded to 2 or 3 inches square and run by hand in a circular motion while rotating the wheel a few revolutions per side should be sufficient. That'll provide a little bite into the pads and deglaze them, too. While you're there, if the pads mount on any sort of pin, I've taken the pin out and shined it up with a Scotchbrite pad, fine sandpaper, etc... to give the pads a smooth surface to work on. ---Just some free stuff to try. eddie

the back brakes squeak/Squeal, when applied, the shop said the "pads" were glazed, I just need to use harder for a while, to remove the glazing.
