There is a special high-temp caliper lube that can be found in most auto parts stores - I've used it on everything and haven't noticed that it does anything extraordinary. However, that's the concept - if it didn't work, I'd know - right?
As for removing the rotors - if they don't fall away from the hubs easily. Replace 1 or 2 of the lug bolts - turn them in a few threads. Then, beat the crap out of the rotor with a piece of wood and a hammer. If it doesn't come loose, keep hitting. --- [email protected] wrote: > I have finally gotten around to replacing the pads and badly warped > rotors, > on my golf.

The Bently really is not too specific. ===== Matthew Yip [email protected] http://www.geocities.com/mgyip/ '87 GTi 16v - x2 '88 M5 '99 F350 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
