The rotor is hot to touch after usage. I'm thinking I should take it to the shop to resurface them as I think they are too thick? Any advice. Thanks in advance.

The rotor can't be too thick unless it's just the wrong rotor. You should never re-use brake pads. They are worn to the shape of the old rotor and should have been replaced automatically. Make sure the caliper slides and pistons are free also. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional. dandiezal New User Jul 15, 2011, 6:22 PM Post #3 of 4 (1531 views) Re: Installed new rotors problem Sign In I took it to the shop. All they did was use screw driver w/o taking the tire off and fiddled with it and fixed it. I'm guessing something was touching the rotor but they fixed it.

No big deal, all fixed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
