Rotor replacement

Thanks,


Thanks, I appreciate the knowledge. I'm just trying to gather as much info as I can before I start, plus I love learning about this stuff. Here's why I was asking about runout. I have a good friend who's a retired mechanic and he said I'd probably have to turn the new rotors after I mounted them to the hub because they weren't born together. At first I doubted him but then I read in the manual that if you need to replace the rotors they should be replaced as a unit with the hub. The manual also says that if you have to separate the rotor from the hub to replace a damaged stud you should first place an alignment mark on both and so that when you reassemble them the marks should line up so that they stay in "balance"(their word). So it seemed to me that the rotor/hub assemblies were coming to the Line (and parts dept.) preassembled and balanced from the supplier. Since it seems that no-one has had any issues with runout or balance so I'll just change them and re-mount them and see how it goes.
Jim, Jim is a super guy. He's a real asset to this site. He's probably torn apart more brakes and suspension than most people have ever seen. He does really nice rebuilds, too. Very high quality. In short, you get what you pay for.
