Brake Rotor Separation

I've seen Chevys go all the way to the vanes

Its crazy how the caliper piston always wins

 

Frame was replaced 2016 and I sprayed it with linseed oil so it's in pretty good shape. Thanks.

 

I've never seen it before either. No not OEM . I'll make sure to buy better quality on next change but I was in a hurry to replace the rotor that fell apart - Local NAPA just had a made in China rotor with no coating.

 

Hopefully you are cleaning and retreating at the end of every winter. Frame rot is inside out, so you did inside the boxed areas, right?

And it would be good to step up your product to something like fluid film, woolwax or cosmoline. The leftover linseed oil is good for that grandsons ball glove.

I recently bought a pressure washer and just cleaned frame the other day.

 

Or a couple coins or washers, a regular caliper, and some subtraction.

 

Is that where you got your rotors?



On a serious not glad no one was hurt.

 

And then were 2 - U & Me - It's a First 4 Me.

 

Me 2 - When I took the wheel off and saw it I was surprised I was able to drive it and stop - drove fine other then pulling to the right.

 

This is beyond me - I'll try the caliper. Thanks.

 

Seriously... if the rotors are that rusted wtf does the rest of the truck look like!

 

Cleaning is good. Protecting is critical. You already lost one frame. You don't get a 2nd do-over on Toyotas dime.

 

I had a Tacoma they gave me 1.5 X Book instead of replacing the frame - I put that down on a 2008 and they replaced the frame on that - They just won't buy good frames - rather spend Millions $$ on replacement LOL

 

Did the shim migrate off the outer pad and score the rotor hat?

 

Have no idea what a shim or a rotor hat are - Thanks.

 

The rotor hat is the thing that broke off the rotor. The shim is the thing that probably cut it off…lol. Thin piece of coated sheet metal normally clipped onto the back of the pad or located by the pins. Some shitty pads use shitty shims and the locating tabs flatten out and let the shim slide off the pad.

 

Ouch. Roughly how old were they?

I replaced my pads/rotors around 105K, cheapos. Around 130K I got a lot of shimmy up front starting in January. Did the brakes in May and just ponied up for OEM as those never gave me any issues..saving a few bucks didn't pay off in this case.

Re the 4 months timeframe, living in a cold area without a garage to work limits me. Mostly, my wife wasn't driving her SUV so we just used that if I went anywhere further than just locally.

 

Ok - The "rotor hat" is called the wheel hub on the diagram I looked at - there was nothing wrong with the brake pads or pins. Thanks
