Tech Tuesday - Rotor Straightening
My front rotor was so warped that both pads had to be retracted out of the caliper "gap" to prevent the rotor from hitting the pads (the rotor was almost hitting the caliper housing). I tried using my fingers but it did not do much if anything. I finally got a 12" Crescent wrench and with my hand on the very end of it I started bending the rotor where it touched the pad (inside or outside pad), as I got it more straight I moved both pads in, and then repeated bending the rotor where it touched the pads. Took ~15 min. to get the rotor perfectly straight!!!!!
