She had both her front rotors on her GrandAm (POS-car) down through the outer pad surface, into the vents on the inside of each front rotor. The pins stuck and she just kept on a drivin'! Ever heard of routine brake checks? And no... I don't mean the ones where you slam on the brakes and watch your friends fly towards the windshield. _____________________________ Kyle- 04 Rainier My Restoration Projects Please Do Not PM for Tech Help (in reply to XBlazer01) Post #: 2

THen a later, I drove it out to the farm and some jack*** cut me off and I locked em up, I actually had Rotor chunks spraying out. Was almost 1/4 inch grooves in the thing.

Yes, I said 4-wheel drum brakes. Brakes work OK so I did not bother to check them when I got it. About 3 months later I was bored one day and decited to check 'em out. The two rears were worn past the rivits and I had two nice 1/8 inch deep groves in the drums. I replaced all of the drums and pads and hey, my parking braked started to work. I feel your pain man. _____________________________ www.oaktowntrucks.com (in reply to XBlazer01) Post #: 5
