Used to death....

Thought this might be fun. Especially for guys that work in shops or even the back yard guys.

I did the brakes on a 2013 VW Golf the other day. The rotor was a lil stuck, they obviously were the original rotors with 100k on the car.... gave it one good smack with a rubber mallet and behold....

Little bit of JB Weld will take care of that. No biggie.

Weld it. Run it.

Y'all worry too much.

These chrysler rotors went 358k.

Some zip ties and duct tape and they're good for at least another 100k.

Anyone who does NOT get that kind of mileage from their brakes is using them too much.

and probably does not live in a large metropolitan area

I do say that we got over 100k out of both the front and rear brakes (both disc) on my wife's 2009 Charger several years ago...
