While I've done a million front and back drum brake jobs as a kid, and some as an adult, I had others work on my cars while I was a businessman. I've never done a disc brake job before. So, excuse my ignorance from asking a few questions.
First, I'm changing studs in hubs from 9/16 to 5/8-18. I assume you don't use any Loctite as the hub is aluminum and Loctite can rip the out. Is this assumption correct?
The bolts that attach the rotors to one hub required a good bit of torque to remove for the entire length. The other hub offered no resistance. It is pretty apparent that Loctite was used on one hub and not the other. I'll chase the threads on bolts and holes - but are they suppose to be Loctite or not - Red or blue.
I noticed while removing the front tires that there was more drag than I expected. It there any adjustment or is it inherent of the caliper? They appear to be properly centered on the rotor?
