You guys got it all wrong!  ::)   Grease up the rotors so they don't rust!  :icon16:

Then the other thing to do is remove the brake pads so the rotors don't wear.    :crazy:

Yep!  then screw the pads to the bottom of your shoes, cut out the floor then " Fred Flintstone" yourself up to the stop signs!  :crazy: :lol:
Failing that you can drill a say 1" hole thru the floor and driveshaft then slid your lug nut wrench in there to stop.... wear gloves though! ( just sayin....)  :biggrin:

And, for what it's worth, this car appears to have ABS, you can see the sensor lead in several of the photos.  :2cents:

Mike, you shoulda put caliper slide grease on the corners of the pads so they don,t hang up. I
won't even mention not machining the rotors.  :poopoke:
:iagree: YUP,MEK,you should have geased up the inside of the stainless steel anti-rattle slide brackets,your pads will either stick or wear unevenly if you don't.also should have greased the slide calipers bolts also.............  :2cents:

as MIKE DITKA says on inside the NFL,  C-mon man..............  :stirpot:  :poopoke:  :smilielol:
