i'm just a basic knowledge car guy haha but i think i know what you talking about...that happens a lot to the older cars when the wheels were made of lesser quality metals, or just overall poorly designed..it was common for the older hondas..haha .it's just all the gunk and grime that gets trapped or build up between the wheels and rotor's hub surface. next time apply some all purpose grease on the surface before intalling back the wheels. and make sure the wheels' nuts are properly torque to specs. your car will run smoother and quicker..some people think it's just a placebo effect, but i think it's real...haha

i just use the torque and jack that comes with the car
but man, that tire rim, IT IS FUSE in there with rotor or something

cuz.....

i did some mad SHAWN MICHEAL SWEET CHIN MUSIC to get it off
serious, no jokes

haven't change my brake pad in 10 years
i use this car mostly for work
but last year, it started making screeching noise
like metal to metal sound

i call a few shop and they wanted all 4 wheel brake pad replace
$500  :D

i told them, i will call them back and let them know

after YOUTUBING
it don't even know that hard and bad to do

but than again

my car knowledge is nonexistence

For a guy that talk smack about cars... don't know how to change brake?  :2funny: :2funny:

Seriously though, it's one of the easiest... next to oil change.

I bought Winchester's premium rotor and pad set, but they warped on a long descent in the Rockies. I honestly wondered if the clerk switched them on me. Just put on a top set from O'Reilly that was cheaper, and I double-checked all the numbers to make sure they're right. The boxes were even sealed this time, which is a good sign. Fingers crossed this set holds up, I'd never had a warped rotor before this.
