Brake disc skimming

[jinjur]

lel.......just use my "Hi Tacknalagy" method that I used to take the lips off the old Civic 1.6i-16 brakes.

• Jack one front wheel up
• take the wheel "aff"
• put car in 3rd
• start engine
• clutch out, let disc spin up
• use file/sand paper/huge ballix (optional) held against the edge if disc while disc spins

All while praying to every god out there that it doesn't coup off your £30 Halfords jack and end up in the utility room

hey presto.....one car sized lathe/weapon of mass destruction (delete as appropriate)

I gained +100 points for ultra retard approach.

But......IT WORKED

Probably should have prefixed my approach with "Meanwhile in Russia........"

What kind of money does it cost to have a set of discs skimmed? I need to get something done with the rear discs from the Rover P6 but it might be cheaper to buy new ones although they are very expensive.

Would just make your day getting impaled by a hand file after it got caught on the disc lol.

Indeed ^ I was nervous enough when applying tyre shine with a paint brush to a car being driven on the ramp

It may have been about 3rd gear New gearbox was in and checking if anything was leaking - I got bored and thought I could be more productive giving the tyres a slick
