I am installing new Ate power discs for Bendix calipers. The Volvo brake manual says the disc runout should be minimized by matching up the notch on the disc with the dot on the hub or to measure the runout using fancy equipment. The Ate rotors don't have such a mark. Is it a big deal to just skip this?

Also do the guide pins come apart easily for lubricating? Do the rubber gaiters need to be pulled off?

guide pins should pop right off after the caliper is removed. if not, they're seized and need to be unseized.

when i installed my front ate powerdisc rotors, i just removed the caliper, caliper mounting bracket, rotor locating pin.

then put everything else back in in reverse. also, replace your brake pads at the same time.
