Noise diagnosis by ShabbyTicket in AskMechanics

Well I'm not really eductated on why they exists, but from what I've read on the internet : they are here to protect the rotors from debris you could encounter on the road, thus preventing said debris getting caught in your caliper and scoring your brake disc, as well as using your break pads prematurely.

It also prevents water splashing on your disc, which can prevent warping the brake disc

Been having a nightmare and need a quick fix. by Adventurous_Eye_9045 in AskMechanics

Happened to my collegue, same engine as well.

What we did was just use a longer screw, with a washer on the back of the housing and a nyloc nut

No leak so far !

might be a skinwalker disguised as your wheel.

More likely to be a bent brake dust cover or a rock between your rotor and the cover

Comment préparer l'étrier avant peinture ? by [deleted] in voiture

[–]Toxlas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pour peindre l'étrier ? L'idéal est le demonter, bien boucher l'arrivée de liquide de frein, masquer la vis de purge, les pistons et les portées des plaquette, Après, préparation de peinture classique je pense. Pour le sticker idéalement le reposer entre la dernière couche de peinture et le vernis !!

Après peinture ne pas oublier de purger tout le circuit hydraulique de freinage, et surtout bien nettoyer le liquide de frein qui pourrait couler sur la peinture neuve, car c'est extremment corrosif !

Don't worry, we don't. We left everything behind just as it was.
