Re: Rotor removal - Put back EXACTLY the same

Tom in Missouri 14 April 2005 09:09:52
 This is not an opinion, this is fact. The factory machining process was
done with the hub or spindle riveted to the rotor. As such, this simplified
manufacturing as any flaws in the hub surface and the inner drum of the
rotor surface could be eliminated by the final machining of the rotor
surface.

If you put the rotor on any position but the original, or on an different
hub or spindle, you can introduce run out that exceeds the specs and which
"pumps" the caliper pistons. Pumping the pistons introduces air into the
brake fluid, resulting in a spongy pedal and eventual leaks.
