Post subject:  hard brakes
HI guys, I fitted new pads and rotors and had the brake fluid changed. I took it over mt glorious with 2 screaming women and because they demanded i brake for each corner, they over heated. now a few months later they dont have any bite? Can i take the pads off and hit them with an wire wheel? whould that remove any glazing or should I through them away and start over again??? There is no bad feeling through the brake pedal ( ie warped rotar) just it slows gradually and a hard pedal.

what pads are they? sometimes if you run track day pads they dont get hot enough to work well in normal road conditions

Wire brush won't deglaze them properly.
I'd hold them carefully on the side of a big grinding wheel. :wink:

On the races cars we had a scientific way of doing de-glazing the brake pads, we would rub them on concrete. :lol:

Just be careful of the dust Brett , I know they aren't meant to have asbestos in them anymore but treat it as if they do ...
