Did Pontiac use thin rotors on their 2003 Aztek that cannot be resurfaced?
It's not just the 2003...my 2001 had the same problem. Most "new" rotors cannot be resurfaced. There's generally not enough meat on them when you get to the point of needing brakes to salvage them. Most times, it's easier to buy new ones, although it's not always cheaper. I've done this on both of mine, and the first time was disappointed that I couldn't resurface them. Good, thick rotors have gone the way of the dinosaur.
How do you install brake pads and rotors in a 1997 Toyota Camry 4-cylinder?
To replace the pads, just remove the calipers, retract the pistons, and set nre pads in place of the old ones. To replace the rotors, remove the old ones and set new rotors in their place. Before driving the vehicle, repeatedly depress the brake pedal several times until it feels firm like it works. Make sure you spray the new rotors with brake parts cleaner thuroughly after you install them!

How many times can you charge 3D glasses?
Active 3D glasses are battery powered. Most of them can be charged hundreds of times before the batteries may need replacing. The number varies from one manufacturer to another but replacing batteries tends not to be a high cost compared to other costs of owning and using 3D television.
What does it mean to machine the brake rotors and drum brakes?
The rotors in disc brakes and the drums are what the pads and shoes rub against to stop a car. With use, the surface can get grooves in it or a build up of rust scale; reducing the braking efficiency. To machine the rotors and drums, they are put on a lathe that cuts a new smooth surface on the face of each. Depending on wear, any given rotor or drum can probably be turned 2 or 3 times before needing to be replaced.
Why does a 1991 jeep Cherokee Laredo turn over so many times before it starts?
try replacing the crankposition sensor my 89 did the same thing and that is what fixed it for me.
How much should it cost to replace the rotors on your 2004 Saturn Ion?
DIY: you can buy the rotors ranging from $25 to $75 each and even more for "performance" rotors. It's a relatively simple job but if you haven't done it before it might be best to leave it to a professional. If you're having a shop do it you'll pay many times that price. Probably $200 or more for the labor and just guessing, probably well over $100 for the same parts that have the dealer and/or shop markup.

How many times can brake rotors be resurfaced?
You can only have them turned a few times until they are too thin to be considered safe. Usually this thickness is stamped on the rotor.

How do you remove the front rotors on your 1993 Geo Metro?
Remove the wheel and brake calipers. Be careful not to let the caliper hang by the brake line. Use a hanger to hold it up and out of the way.On the rotors the are screws close to the center of the rotor, remove these screws and the rotor just slides off. The screws can be tough, dont strip the heads, use the appropiate size screw driver and tap a few times with a hammer, that may help loosen it. I didnt put the screws back in after replacing the rotor, I believe that is a optional choice.
