When I was in South Carolina we would only do resurfacing or replacing the whole set

I changed pad 2 or 3 time for the same disc in Quebec if the disc is still looking good

Several these comments are not correct everyone. I replied to couple for anyone looking for info. A bad rotor is a bad rotor tho yes.

While you are partly correct in that the labour costs almost the same if you change the rotors too, there are few points you are not mentioning. First, your pads will not ruin your new rotors because pads do wear so much quicker than rotors, so when they eventually come for new rotors, the pads will be changed as well. Second, you do not open why those new pads are shot. And why this is bad besides the look. The original reason is that the caliper is not moving correctly on the carrier, the pads were stuck or the piston of the caliper is stuck. There is a mechanical problem on those brakes that even a new set of rotors will not fix. So in this situation the brakes need a good cleaning and making sure that all parts move smoothly.

Ya this comment is correct. For the most part anyways...... and I'm not engineer lol. Im pretty advanced tho and just didnt finish my shool/career is all for personal reasons but i still have WAY more dionostic experience than most master mechanics ever would receive, but im also first to say if and when i need to look up something. Just saying I could say stuff bout this 3x longer and be most likly completly right lol. Rotor is f%$#ED here for sure, but correct that caliper isn't sliding WHICH FOR THOSE WHO DONT SEE IT OR KNOW only one pad/side is ate up so caliper is not braking evenly to both pads. Could be as mentioned above, could be piston or slider pins bolts ect, and ALSO just as simple as bad rubber brake line which allows piston to squeeze out but not release CAUSEING LOTS OF HEAT and WEAR TO BRAKES AND PARTS regardless of how much salt is used. And also the comment mentioning expensive rotors are normally just for bigger trucks ect.... not always but normally and this being just 5 lug looking at video, comonly only around 30$ american to as high as 90$ but normally cheaper. Thats cost for parts only. Id have to kno yr make and model tho..... Here in US (I'm in lower mid central) a bad rotor is bad rotor and otherwise no reason to charge for parts that aren't needed. Salt or no salt.

@@user-ex5fx5jj7z believe what u wanna believe. Rewatch the video. One pad is gone and the other is full. If brakes were working properly "salt or no salt" they would have been wore evenly. When northern vehicles wont pass inspections alot of shady people try to bring them down here and unload them here. Alot of salvage yards ends up with them tho, and ya ive seen yalls salt damage and yalls country arent only place using salt to clear roads. I even have a friend of family that buys all Toyota rusted or not he can and takes them further on down to belieze central America. Then sells or parts them out there. And most of his come from Maine. Yalls winters/conditions bout the same.

The talk of someone who drives a car with cheap rotors and pays for labor... Many times, the rotor costs 300-500$ each, while good pads cost 20-30$ the whole set. And there is no real problem just installing new pads, if the caliper and piston move like they should. It's only an esthetical thing. You could also resurface the rotor once, but most people don't have access to the tools. So I end up replacing rotors every 2-3 sets of pads, when they are down to their minimum thickness. Another thing: Brake hard!! You avoid rust build up on the contact area if you brake long and hard as often as possible! Remember, pads are cheap, hard braking keeps calipers moving, rotors shining and pads grippy. Don't brake like grandpa... Who I am? Car mechanic and automotive engineer.

I don’t get people. Pads and rotors are maybe 200 and they last me almost 100k miles or 7 years. How can one be that cheap?

@JunctionHack 7 ай бұрын

Can't you machine/resurface the rotor before slapping in new pads?

@Dkson0 7 ай бұрын

Most places don't do that anymore in Canada. Almost same price to get new rotors for the few places that do.

@hiddenbigfoot 7 ай бұрын

Ya I dont know about Canada.the video isnt right bout salt destroying them tho(editied this rotor), salt might have helped but that's not what destroyed this rotor tho, here tho (lower central usa) for "MOST 5LUG ROTORS" are normally just 30$ish to 90$ish and "turning rotors" can go anywhere from 20$ to 70$ depending on size of vehicle. "Normally" anything with 5lug rotors are just personal vehicles in 1/2 ton weight class and it's better to replace than having them turned (as in machined). Now 3/4 ton vehicles and up rotor cost go up and depending on shape sometimes the cost new vs turned can be better. Just depends on situation

@@hiddenbigfoot salt exposure causes corrosion and rust - the grooves and gouges are caused by these rust deposits breaking free and getting between the rotor and the pad. This is 100% caused by salt. In Canada, we also have safety inspections where the thickness of the rotor is measured against factory spec. If too thin, they need replacing.

Pads are cheap. Rotors not so much

@deeznutz3494 7 ай бұрын

Here’s why you shouldn’t pad slap period: Throughout the life of the brake pads, the brakes don’t always wear parallel, Especially when the driver consistently brakes heavily. When installing new pads on used rotors, you can end up with a spongy pedal, or more importantly, decreased braking performance, since the pads aren’t making full contact with the rotor.. that is of course, until the pad wears down enough until it’s making full contact with the rotor. Corrosion on the edges should be taken serious in extreme cases, but a car with unevenly worn brakes can be scary to drive. But I still do it to my beater anyway, to avoid buying new rotors 😆

@hiddenbigfoot 7 ай бұрын

That's not right everyone. Like really wrong. I literally just said below if brakes aren't wearing evenly. Caliper/slider bolts/or rubber brake line isn't allowing to release.

@deeznutz3494 7 ай бұрын

No this is for real - brakes don’t normally wear evenly, even when everything’s free.

Watch any of my brake videos all brake sets are evenly wore. And I even admitted online to the one time in my life I recently put a pad on backwards and the make/model that allowed it and i admitted to it and most wouldnt, i even recorded it to show everyone. Brakes wear evenly unless something is wrong.
