Skimming brake discs
#13
used to have to do it under warranty on new cars in main dealers !!! sh*t idea that is soooooooo wrong !

personally I wont, as you are re-facing something that's over-heated and buckled !! then as the pads will have worn (to the shape of the disc you wont get old pads to be perfectly on the faces of the disc) they have to be replaced as well . if you don't fit new pads the old pads will not match the shape of the freshly-skimmed disc, cause over-heated hot spots which causes brake discs to buckle again !! so the customer comes back again kicking off at you !!!

I would rather measure with a dti to confirm they are fked...............and then bin them.

fit new parts =not buckled + new pads = happy customer and no comebacks.
