I would also give those rotors some attention, If not with an angle grinder with a Roloc disk, then atleast with a scotchbright pad. That can really do a number on the break pads and can cause break failure.

Most Auto Part Stores will not carry the Grade 8 studs. I normally get them from my local Trailer supply store.

Visual on that one Rim alone tells me to replace. I would not even try to MIC them. Look at the holes, they are over bore.

I would tape off the break area of the rotor and blast that rust off. Hit it with some etching primer and a good coat of Hi Temp paint. Will extend the life of those rotors more then you think.

 

Thanks for the great info. I'm off to TSC for studs. I am going to scrounge the local yard for some new rims. We get abnormal amounts of corrosion where I live so the tips on the rotor are greatly appreciated (they are expensive to replace[:@]).

 

Just a follow up: I had a friend who works at a NDT lab, take a good look at the at the broken studs. The X-Ray showed that in the studs that were still intact there was crystallization (it bugs me he had a name for it that I forgot.) the others that broke had the same thing but were also being attacked from the outside byrust. Any way a no win situation.

I'll probably take some criticism for this but I usedmy air chiseland they came right out. I bought Dorman studs which are all grade 8 and installed them using liquid soap a few washers an a nut to draw them in.
