Not to mention how the new rotors were cleaned.
Degrease in parts washer, rinse with brake cleaner, wash with hot
soapy water, rinse and dry with clean towel watching for any
signs of metal dust.
Then there's the ways, lands, bu****ngs and pins that the pads and
calipers slide on, wire brushed, filed, scraped, sandblasted
(whichever is appropriate) so no rust is left adhering and
properly lubricated.
Similar for the wheel hub where the rotor mounts...
Most people who claim that they know how to do a brake job really
don't.
