88 Fiero Brakes (Page 2/2) BillS OCT 06, 04:39 PM I wouldn't replace them until you actually measure the thickness of your current rotors. They can look pretty ropy and still clean up over minimum. Mickey_Moose OCT 07, 02:20 PM If the "main" seal needs to be replaced, chances are pretty good that all the other seals will need to be replaced. You can always take your rotors to Autozone or similar and have them turned - that way it will remove the rust and any pitting. The question you need to ask, do you really want to cheap out on brakes? richard in nc OCT 07, 08:11 PM ive not been able to get on rockauto for two days.

Very minor pitting probably makes no real difference... but I agree that major pitting would need to be removed by having the rotors turned. I don't know why I've been unaware of this, but I just discovered that regular cheap white vinegar can be used to remove rust. There are several videos on YouTube covering this, but I chose this one as the guy's thick Scottish accent is an added bonus.

The question you need to ask, do you really want to cheap out on brakes? Yup, very true. I plan to buy rebuild kits from the fiero store tomorrow when I get paid. I think the calipers are still good. I already got pads for them, the rubber stuff just needs redone. Gotta push the pistons in...I've seen a lot of threads on these. The ogre has a page about it so I'll refer to that.

Thanks Patrick! Appreciate all your help. You've been a good source of info on all my posts here 😂 I'm sure I'll be making many more haha Patrick OCT 09, 10:10 PM quote Originally posted by Worcen: I didn't know that either! Huh...I'll give this a try too. The only thing I would suggest, is trying for a shorter period of time initially. This fella actually left them soaking overnight, which may or may not have contributed to the rough surface afterwards. In other videos I've watched since, it appears that sometimes only an hour is required. It depends on the amount of rust, I suppose. Best to err on the side of caution, just in case prolonged submersion in vinegar is detrimental.
