Default Quick way or the right way?

CWizard If you want to try the quick way, get a couple of cans of GOOD brake clean and a wire blush and clean the parts with this. If you have a small sander or belt sander with a #200 grit rating, Hit the surfaces of the pads and both sides of the rotor. You want to remove the glazing on both parts. Doing this is cheaper than to get new pads and have the rotor resurfaced or replaced. The problem is the grease gets hot and melts into the pores of the pads and rotor. Cutting .003-.005 off the rotor will give you new virgin surfaces. Any idea where the grease came from?? CV boot if you have a IRS rearend? Rick L.
