Blurred Clutched June 1, 2008 Share June 1, 2008 I am not sure if every time change brake pads must skim the disc or not..what i hear is that the rotors can be skimmed only 2 times...cos skimming is very "Siong" to the rotors and if you skim more than 2 times, the integrity of the rotors will not be there... any experts can advice or this issue?

Eyke Supercharged June 3, 2008 Share June 3, 2008 skim is to remove material therefore rotors get thinner and closer to end of usability. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xiao_low Neutral Newbie June 3, 2008 Share June 3, 2008 Dear pal, txs for all your advise, i have got the rotor/disc skim yesterday at Kian Teong. Cost me $70 and whole process took less than 1 hr. Steering wheel no more vibrate liao. According to the person at Kian Teong, 2 possibility that could cause the Disc 'wrap' 1) As i have recently change brake pads, the new pads may not 'sit in well' onto disc as the disc may have acustom to the old pads. Thus, it's advisable to skim disc whenever you change pads. 2) Never never wash the wheel when the disc is in hot condition. When water quickly cold down the disc, the contraction on the disc may cause wrap. Thus, allow the car to cool down before washing wheel. If you alway send car to wash at petrol kiosk, advisable to allow car to cool down before sending it for a wash. can pm me the address of kian teong? i oso have this problem..
