One of the RF pads is worn more than the other. Check your pins and ensure the caliper retracts easily.

[Russosaur]

What brake pad? LF caliper slide bolt had 0 grease on it and seized to the bracket had to break it free with a 3ft breaker bar and 6ft pipe. Impact wouldn't take it off. It also cracked my grandpas 15mm so I had to use the impact socket.

So im gonna take a guess that the rears suffer the same fate. The RF had no grease on them either.

you better replace that socket he might get pissed at you

[Scottydoggs]

yup full brake job for moms car. cut em, and new pads. grease, grease, and grease some more after cleaning the pins and the holes up real good. brake cleaner works well.

being the sliders were dry the calipers were dragging and killed the one pad. the thinner one.

Unless the hoses are coming apart inside. If so..they work as check valves.

[Russosaur]

Dont appear to be but the rotor wont come off now

get a block of wood, and a hammer, hold the wood to the side of the rotor, smack the wood with the hammer. a few shots should break it free.

[MrPoopyButthole]

or rubber mallet.

[BillBoost37]

Real men smack it between the studs...directly

Russ..this is a whoring thread..not a fix your W body thread

sand or wire brush the inside of the rotors and the hubs. you may want to put some anti seize on the hub where the rotor touches.

[Russosaur]

Planned on it, i think the last person did a real hack brake job. Orielys 10 bucks a rotor wohooo.

if the rotors are cheap brand get new ones. if they are warped cutting them will make them thinner and re warp them easy.

if they are factory they should hold up better due to it being a good rotor already, steel quality wise.

[Russosaur]

I doubt they are factory only because the car has almost 160k on it

More of a reason they probably are factory lol

Who knows, im saving up to buy it a used trans. Then throwing it in the trunk and finding someone to help me do a swap. Or maybe find a l67 and throw headers and a 3.5 on it and not tell her and wait till she gets on it. She would probably blow it up running 87 she mixes 87 and 93 in the trans am and it runs like horse ****.

Or maybe just fix what broken and leave it alone. Modding a car is asking for problems and you especially don't do that to a car that is not yours.


Plus why would you be the one supplying parts if it's not your car?
