Setright, Glad I asked. When looking at the rotor, it appeared to be one piece with the axle. I figured it had to be simpler than what I thought. Never heard of "mintex" before. Are they available locally (usual suspect auto parts stores) or do they need to be special ordered via the net? Thanks, Jason

Hi folks, new here, need advice. I've a 02 H6 Sedan with 58K miles that appears to be in need of a brake job. Brakes pulse and the vehicle wobbles slightly at speed (maybe and alignment issue?). I've read that the factory rotors are decent, but that the factory pads are basically junk. As such, I'm looking to upgrade to some quality pads that don't squeal, have good service life and aren't too dusty. This is a daily driver that comes closest to light track work on highway on-ramps...nothing more. I've read that Hawk Performance has a good pad...thoughts? Recommendations? Finally, I'm handy enough to do this myself, but are there any special tools I'll need to get the rotors off to turn them? Looks like I need to bend a tab out to remove the large center nut holding the rotor on. Any/all input appreciated. BTW, I did a search on the subject and couldn't find the answers I was looking for. TIA, Jason
