93CutlassSupreme Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 this weekend i'll be changing out front rotors (again) before, i always used a drill and a wire wheel to grind all the rust off the hubs. any quicker way to do this? also, is their a easily avaiable commerical solution or rustproffing or something that will actually slow the rust down? i've been using Mercury Marine's Corrosion Guard the last 2 or 3 times i did brakes, but it really hasn't done a whole lot.

DiscoStudd Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 I always coat the hubs and the mounting surface of the rotors with anti-sieze. Coat the front face of the rotor around the lugs and the lugs themselves with it, too. Next time you do a brake job, you'll be glad you did! Oh yeah, and coat the caliper bracket mounting bolts too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stockgp Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 after you remove the rust, get some zinc chromate paint and paint the hubs. they'll never rust again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
93CutlassSupreme Posted August 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 thanks for the rust prevention tips, but anyone know a quick way to remove rust that is already on the hub? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian P Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 quick would be the naval jelly, as long as the rust isn't awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
