If the rotors arent rusted away just turning them will clean them up.You could blast the non contact area as long as you dont hit the bearing races unless you change them.If the pads are junk yard I wouldnt trust them.New pads are less than 30 bucks so why chance your life to them.I paintes the hats on my rotors.Rocky



disc brakes for rear axle...no bearing races anywhere on them. solid disc with internal drum for parking brake.

That's also why I wondered if there was anyway to "de-glaze" pads since there is so much pad life left on these, and since they are the rear brake,s they aren't nearly as critical as front brakes are...especially on this nose heavy, pick up truck with a big block.

there's not much weight over the rear axle, so it doesnt do a whole lot of braking!
