Re: Fried my brakes
Quote:
Hmm good point. now that i recall i did set the ebrake while i was at the track after a few runs. and at the track it was somewhere between 90-110 degrees. I just tried another remedy someone suggested to me. Accelerate to 70 and brake down to about 10mph to try to smooth out any debris that got under the pad. and then drive a while with no braking. DId that. Also, i've noticed that when i brake i can hear something contract/realease up front (what i belive to be my calipers) as i push/release my brake pedal. Any ideas on that? would that be caused by a warped rotor and the caliper not being able to seat properly? Also my brake fluid is a light/mid brown color, about time for a change. Any word on how to do that?

Re: Fried my brakes
When I bleed my brakes, I usually bleed one reservoirs worth of fluid out thru each caliper. That way I know all of the old fluid is flushed.
You can improve overheated brakes by taking some sand paper to the rotorz and pads to remove the glaze that occurs from the heat. It won't usually eliminate any pulsating but it will improve the grip of the pads. Obviously if you see any buildup on the rotorz, you can sand it all off.

someone else also suggested that to me. I may give it a try. Although i dont know how to get the pads off. Does anyone know what that sound could be caused by when i brake? |
