Brake pad and rotor replacement article
« on: May 15, 2017, 04:09:57 AM »

Here is a brake pad and rotor replacement informational article.  This one written by Galfer, so it might be a little slanted, but I assume that they know what they are talking about.  However, the last half of the article talks about brake discs, how to clean them and how to break-in new pads, which I found interesting.  (They recommend not using brake parts cleaner to clean brake discs, as an example.)
