Does anyone know where I can get Rotor retaining screws and/or what size they are? If I knew a size I would just go down to fastenal or order some nice black oxide and oil coated ones from McMaster.
But I'd like to have something before I drill the old ones out because they are soooo stripped. (Even though I know they really aren't necessary)
I don't think that the cheapo brake pads that were on the car beforehand had the wear noise strip and so I finally heard the problem after metal/metal lol. My commute with the car is 60 miles oneway everyday and I didn't get to the brakes until a couple of days after the noise started, and the now the old rotor is pretty sad. I put new $13 "Standard" o-reilly pads on until the new rotor comes and by the time I got to work the first day after replacing they were smoking.
My caliper may be sticking too... I'm planning on replacing the hoses cuz they are pretty cracked and I gonna put new fluid in and see if it helps the caliper.
On a related note, I just ordered a rotor and some brake hoses through Rockauto.com and noticed that there are quite a few close-out items through AUTOSPECIALTY / KELSEY-HAYES that are priced very cheaply and they don't have core charges.
I should have a discount code to post here in a bit.
