Subject:      syncro rotors
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed

Hi All,
        I am about to embark on a syncro front rotor/pad replacement project. The
front rotors have 92k miles on them and they do look tired and since the
pads need replacement I will replace both components. I've done an archive
search on the subject but came up empty so I'm delving into the real time
List's sea of knowledge and experience. I recall from past postings some of
what faces me. From the corroded look of the rotors they will be a chore to
remove and I've got access to some heavy hammers. Any hints on easing this
disc battering would be appreciated. Also, I'm assuming the studs can be
removed for reuse in a new rotor. How does one remove the studs without
damaging them. Thanks in advance.
