    Brake Rotor

    I was brought a car to change the pads for a relative because it was making noise. I ain't never seen one this bad. When I was hammering off the rotor, the core broke away from it. Absolutely no rotor wall on the outside. So yeah, it made it past the brake pad squealer. I should have taken it to the part store and asked if it could be turned. [emoji38] [emoji848]

        Elderly relative?

        That is insane. Cant imagine what it must have been like trying to stop the car, and what that sounded and felt like.

        They got their moneys worth for sure.

              Everything else was good. I figured it would have gotten into the caliper piston, but it was fine.

                    Got all the goody out of that one. What do the others look like?
                    Warranty might cover it.

                      I would have replaced that caliper just because.

                          Others were fine. I heard she had bought it from a used car lot not too long ago. I don't think they went through it or they would have caught that. I know they had to hear it. She hasn't had it long enough to get that far into it.

                            I figured I was gonna need to before I even got to it. It was perfectly fine. Went back in easy and the boot seal was still perfect. I thought it was gonna be a locked piston. It releases like it should after I got it all back together. No marks on it either. It still had some brake pad on the piston side.
