Maybe WD-40. Also, when installing new rotors, paint the inside of the
hub to keep it from rusting and making removal impossible. Do not paint
the surface that rests on the bearing flange, just the circular part
that surrounds the flange.

As this thread has morphed a bit, let me ask a syncro rotor question:

Every year I take my Canadian van to have the Krown.com rust prevention
treatment.  This treatment
consists of spraying the underside of the van with an oily substance.
As one pays for the
treatment, they advise caution as the oily spray gets on the brakes and
will impede stopping for
the first 4 or 5 stops.  I have been doing this for 7 years and the
brakes work fine after 4 or 5
stops.

I am wondering; when I put my van to be for the winter, I just might
take off the front wheels and
spray (or wipe) the rotors with the Krown oil.  Maybe even the rear
brake drums too.

Any reasons not to????   Malcolm (91 syncro)
