After months of neglect, I'm finally (and financially) ready to fix my front brakes. I'm not sure about the back, but let's do one project at a time.
My first question is about the rotors.
My buddy has an Explorer that's been sitting in his backyard for about a year (wrecked), he said I can salvage anything off of it I want to. I was wondering if it's possible to get the rotors from his and use them. The years and size match up, but the problem is the amount of rust. How much is to much? I've read about people having rust after they get washed, but I didn't know if I could simply take them to be lathed/turned and still work.
Reason I'm wanting to use old/used parts is to keep the cost down, I'm selling my X soon anyways, no sense in wasting a bunch of money right now.
Thanks
