We replaced the front and rear brake pads and pulled the rotors to clean them and soak them in evaporust to remove the surface rust on the hat portion. They look much nicer now. I had to replace one of the caliper brackets after breaking the head off the slider bolt. It was completely seized in the bore and even heat and gently trying to turn it in a vice didn't do anything. Luckily the local Autozone had one in stock (Cardone remanufactured original bracket for $25).

Of course that means the dealer totally ignored that problem when they charged her all that money for the front brake job and an extra $145 to cut the front rotors, a few thousand miles ago. It was an obvious problem since that front inner pad was worn twice as much as the outer one since the caliper couldn't slide. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]
