Not because they are worn to far or anything, just says in their manual that they are not serviceable. Has anyone else heard this? They still have plenty of meat left on them and it seems silly to throw them out just because they have a little warp to them. And new centric rotors are 50 bucks each... compared to 15 each to turn a rotor. 95 Montero SR- Stock 90 Turbo Miata - TD04 wrx turbo, Flyin miata suspension, Torsen diff, 225 RS3's 92 Mighty Max 4x4 - Retired Re: 95SR rear rotors cannot be turned?

No sense turning for $15 when new ones are an extra $10. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> http://www.bmaparts.com/ShopByVehicle.ep...tor&mode=PA Sean - Orange County, CA MAIL: seanwilliams78@gmail.com 1995 Montero SR - For exploring and getting away! 1994 Volvo 850 Turbo - 402hp and counting! 1966 VW Bug 2275cc - For stoplight drags!

The idea seemed to be to use the abrasive only for truing a warped rotor. If you go buy a cheap set of new pads, then apply some self adhesive sandpaper to the elcheapos, then jack up the rear and lightly apply the brakes while driven by the engine. Quit when the chuff-chuff-chuff sound goes away. I would anneal the disks first, perhaps relaxing some of the warp. This could be done in the home oven, given an absent or VERY understanding life partner... Not responsible for advice not taken...
