Warped Front Rotor : Found cause 700 90

posted by  someone claiming to be dick on  Sun Nov 5 12:47 CST 2000 [RELATED]

Try to pride myself in good preventive maintenance, but blew it on this. My 90 has single piston Girling calipers which means part of the caliper slides in and out on two pins. One of mine was frozen in place (rust). Took nearly an hour of PB Blaster and some back and forth to get it out.

Long and short: when replacing brake pads, remove, clean and reapply silicon grease on the pins of the caliper. The constant drag of the brake pad creates heat which will eventually warp the rotor.
