Re: Disc brake refacing

I agree with you Migs. But there are run of the mill machine shops that would tell propective customers "puwede pa yan" wihtout even looking if the disc is at its minimum thickness.

How thick is the minimum thickness of brake rotors?

yeah... those guys suck... meron pa ibang machine shops that di pa pantay pagkaresurface. you'd thing it would be easy enough to run a lathe pero apparently it's not. hehe!

minimum thickness depends on the car.

There are refacing machines made specifically for rotor refacing. 2 side refacing sya simultaneously para pantay talaga. I had my Patrol's rotors refaced using this machine at Servitek. Ayos naman kinalabasan.

sir yun knocking sound galing sa likod yan try mo apply yun handbrake mawala yun 2nog nyan pag apak mo sa brake. try niyo pa adjust yun brake shoe niyo dahil baka malayo na ang adjustment. kung kia yun auto niyo try niyo muna canvass ng bago before niyo pa-reface....

if you have your rotors refaced, do you really need to replace your brake pads or you can easily readjust it to the new thickness of the disc rotors?

usually pag nag reface ka ng rotor palit ka na ng bagong brake pads ... kasi kaya nga nasira yung rotor disc mo kasi ndi pantay ang kain ng brake pads mo ... or pudpod na yung rotor disc mo puro gatla .....or gasgas ....

so i do recommend it and don't adjust it

^^^^OK, if that is the case then I really need to replace them. So how do you know what is the type of brake pad that is installed on your car? Is there any mark or any brand will do?

BTW if I just opt to replace my rotor discs how much will it cost me then, any idea where can I get one and are they all the same and just simply differ in sizes?

**banawe** · September 28th, 2007 07:21 PM

i usually recommed ferodo or bendix ... i think they are cheap and best in the market ...

i don't know what car you drive ... but usually car brake pads ranges to 450 - 800 pag datings sa ganitong brand ...

yung rotor disc naman also depends on what car ... but if yung parang corolla lang yan mga 750 lang corolla big body ... but estimate around 750 - 1200 pag car rotor disc ...
