the surface of the pad was pitted, it wasn't chipped all the way down, the pad still had its structure, the holes were only on the surface of the pad.

im pissed now, i might need my rotors machined because of the inconsistant surface of the pads, but its not really bad.

Maybe a bad batch of pads put on by the previous owner

oh well, at least i learnt you dont need to undo all 4 bolts to get the calaper off tongue.gif

good safety tip.. I had steel in my eye once. By the time I got to the eye doctor (Several days later) it had started to rust and they needed to grind away part of my eye (it grows back) to get the rust out.


This is exactly what happened to me! How did you like having the guy go at your eye with a drill???
