removing front rotors

[cruiz]

hi guys, went to holden dealer today and asked if they sell shims seperatley, they said no,the only come with new pads WTF!!! went to a couple of other outlets and they dont sell either,may have to go to the wreckers and see how much they will rip me of.lol

Does yours have them on there now? If they arent broken or contacting the rotor anywhere they should be fine.

yes shims are in there, i had a look today took them out and put them back in, but couldnt see anything that could be touching the disc,
since i cant buy any new ones over the counter i will go and see if the wreckers have any and try them out,

 

[RiCeY]

If they are ok theres no point replacing them.

Some grease where the tabs of the brake pads slide along wont hurt though.

 

[cruiz]

will try that tomorrow,if they still squeek what else coult it be,im out of soloutions

Maybe a mouse stuck under your brake pedal.
