Guest Legacy777 Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 Yes the rear rotors can be turned if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 99obw Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 I bought new rear rotors and pads today. They went on easily. I topped off the coolant and tranny fluid. I also adjusted the parking brake. It runs great. I was unable to make exhaust bubbles appear in the overflow tank. (Sigh of relief) I don't know how long the repair will last. The heads were straight to within 0.001", so I see no reason I shouldn't get another 120k. Next the struts....... Thanks to all that contributed! 99obw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 2002LegacyGT Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 These rear rotors have the built-in drum for the parking brake, right? I don't think they'd turn well on any lathe I've seen. Anyone successfully turn rotors of this type? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 99obw Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 Yes, they have the drum style parking brake. I don't know enough about brake lathes to comment. The disc part of the rotor seems to wear nearly as much as the pads, so I thought new ones were a good idea. The brakes feel much better. 99obw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TinyClark Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 I had mine turned with no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjp98outlook Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 RodA2003 (or anyone): Can you please explain how you were able to change the valve shims without the "special tool" as described in this thread? I would like to do the same. Thanks Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyBravo Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 99obw, I live in Rochester and am going through the same thing at this time.
