If it's your first set of pads on that rotor you can't possibly wear those rotors down too far not to turn unless you wear past the pad and go metal to metal. You can turn those rotors I garuantee it. Min spec is 1.19 inches or something like that. Save some money, turn your rotors go with new pads.
I have the same pads and rotors as yours. The front ones are shiny but the rears are pretty rusty even after some spirited driving. Any idea as to why?
@@KevinJonesTH-cam I should clarify that the entire rotor isn’t rusty just the other and inner part the middle isn’t. Could it be they sent me the wrong size pads?
Cool Video. This looks even easier than I though.
It is. Give it a try you will see.
I would add a step to grease the rear of the pads before putting them in. this prevents brake squeal.
Torque specs. 23lbs for the smaller bolt. 125lbs for the big bolt.
Thanks man.
My 2008 Corvette base has bigger rotors and calipers on the front and the rear looks smaller like yours, which kit did you buy for the rear 😭

I changed all pads on 2009 corvette and now I have no fluid going to rear brakes any suggestions

It sounds like your rear pads are not engaging. You may need to look at the rear calipers or the ABS cylinder.

It could be but hard to tell without seeing it. Sorry
