If you drove your car for too long and the pads were worn out then there will be small grooves or either big grooves from were the metal was rubbing against the rotor. If it has big grooves in it then they probably need to be changed or on some you can turn your rotor around and still use it. If it has small grooves it should be ok. Hope this is some help to you.

Yes you can replace your brake pads but it would be cheaper if you wait until you need a new rotor. I recommended waiting because its way better than replacing it before you need a new rotor.


Do you have to pull axle on 2005 dually to replace rotor?

On a 2005 dually, you typically do not need to pull the axle to replace the brake rotor. Most dually trucks have a design that allows for rotor replacement with the wheel and caliper removed. However, you may need to remove the wheel hub assembly if the rotor is not easily accessible. Always consult your vehicle's service manual for specific instructions and precautions.

How do you know when to change your rotor?

If you feel pulsating, shudder, or vibrating, when you come to a stop, your rotors are warped. Remove the rotor and take it to a machine shop and see if it can be turned and resurfaced. Usually this can be done one time unless the rotor is badly damaged. The machine shop will determine if it can be resurfaced. If not, you will need to purchase a new rotor. Make sure to replace the brake pads even if they look good when replacing or resurfacing the rotor.
