    This is the only video on all of the internet that I could find from someone who actually knows how to replace brake discs properly.

    Bummer if you find out the hub has the runout or the wheel bearing has play.

    Lol I’ve been an automotive technician for 15 years this is the first I’ve heard of taper correction plates. How about you machine the brake rotor if it’s warped. Under minimum thickness? Time to replace it.

      It's not about it being warped.... the disc can be perfectly flat, but if there is a slight imperfection on the hub, then the disc won't be mounted properly...

      I think if that’s an issue someone should be seriously concerned with the quality of parts they are purchasing lol.

      @@amana1480 I have never seen a hub THAT bad in all my years of professional service. I get your point but it’s just not realistic. Machine if possible or replace. Done. No customer on the planet wants to pay the cost of that in-depth inspection just to find out they need to replace their rotors anyway. We have a hard enough time getting people to commit to the brake job as it is.

    machine it if its thick enough but you have to measure it with a micrometer and pull up alldata for rotor measurement specifications

    • @amana1480
      @amana1480 3 года назад +1

      This will only work if it's machined after its mounted on the vehicle

  • @cuttthroatperformance2752
    @cuttthroatperformance2752 Год назад

    What exactly are you diagnosing ? If the rotor is warped then resurface the rotor...if it's too far warped then replace it..

    Or you could chuck the rotor up in the lathe and take the high spot out !

    • @amana1480
      @amana1480 3 года назад +2

      No. This won't work. Machining will only work if it is machined after its mounted on the vehicle... you don't seem to understand the video...

      Hemchandra Pandey Call a metrologist, they will take your dial indicator and test it with objects with traceable measured dimensions, then they will give you a table showing how far your dial indicator is from "normal" at min scale, max scale, and maybe a few points between. Other than adjusting it for zero, which these have a turning bezel to do that, you can't adjust how far the dial travels between a given measurement and another, but you can have data that shows how far off scale it might be so you can scale the results if you want your cheaper indicator to be more comparable of perhaps a slightly better made instrument.

    Do any garages actually do this in real life?

    • @eurotrash55
      @eurotrash55 3 года назад +1

      They can if the customer pays for it. The free brake inspection or half hour charge doesn’t cover this. It’s not an efficient or practical use of time to be honest.

      Most don't , unfortunately.
      If I'm able to get my own Shop , I wouldn't even hire you if you didn't already Own a Micrometer & Dial Indicator for Brake Inspections/Brake Repair and a Torque Wrench for Tire Lug Nuts..........If a person didn't already own these Tools , that Automatically tells me they've been doing Brake jobs Wrong for 15 years & Not Torquing people Tire Lug Nuts.
      Many uneducated will say those Tools are Useless , then my response is ,
      " If those Tools aren't Valid , then why in the He_ _ is there such a thing as a Thin Brake Specifications Guide Booklet" by Motor. All vehicles have Different Specs.,
      unless they are the same brand of car.
      You'd be shocked at what you see if you actually had the Guide in your possession. Some Guys are so far behind they're still telling you that Brake Bleeding Procedures start with the Left Rear Wheel - Right Rear Wheel - Right Front Wheel then Left Front Wheel.
      Brake Specifications/Brake Bleeding Procedures Guide can be purchased from one of the "4" Professional Tools Trucks called Matco Tools or from
      www.matcotools.com
